Meg Zaletel is a member of the Anchorage Assembly, and chairs its Committee on Housing and Homelessness, and co-chairs its AMATS Policy Committee. Fresh out of Drake University Law School, Meg took a job with the Disability Law Center of Alaska in Anchorage, sight unseen. This not only brought her to Alaska but gave her valuable experience working on systemic issues. She later earned a certificate of Mental Disability Law from New York Law School, and still practices law, but she has shifted her focus to community and neighborhood engagement by establishing and running the Anchorage Community House. Each year she volunteers at the MLK Day Legal Clinic, which keeps her grounded in the needs of our community and reminds her of the impact volunteers can make. Meg lives in Midtown with her husband Zach, their daughter Zelda, and two dogs.
