About Meg Snead
About Meg Snead
I’m a policy strategist, former state official, and recovering bureaucrat who knows how to make government work for people.
As Founder and Principal of MCS Strategies, I help nonprofits, community-based organizations, and public agencies navigate complex systems—especially Medicaid and human services. Whether you’re building a funding strategy, strengthening government relationships, or modernizing operations, I help you move from stuck to strategic.
Before launching MCS, I served as Pennsylvania’s Secretary of Policy and Planning and later as Acting Secretary of the Department of Human Services. I’ve led during crises, crafted policies that centered real people, and worked alongside hundreds of mission-driven leaders across the state. Now, I bring that experience to the clients I serve—bridging government and community with clarity, strategy, and heart.
Core Values
People First
I center lived experience and community voice in every solution.
Bridge Builder.
I translate between policy, politics, and real-world impact.
No Bulls**t
Bureaucracy shouldn't be a barrier to doing good work.
