Mentors for Youth is excited to announce the addition of five new members to their Board of Directors throughout the 2025 fiscal year as part of their Mentors for Youth Month celebrations!
Dan and family relocated to Jasper from Grosse Pointe Shores, MI in 2019. Dan spent his career in occupational- and educational testing with the Educational Testing Service (ETS) in Princeton, NJ, the American Institutes for Research (AIR) in Washington, D.C. He retired in 2017 from the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages, where he was the director of language testing programs.
Dan considers himself a stay-at-home dad (although his two daughters are now at college in Evansville). He enjoys watching his son, Christian, take flying lessons with DuBois Co. Flight Services and attending swim meets with his youngest, Pascal, a sophomore at Jasper High School. Dan’s wife is a physician with Deaconess. Dan and family make travel a priority and have a particular fondness for Provence and the United Kingdom.
Dan is honored to be asked to serve on the M4Y Board and will strive to be worthy of it.

After passing the bar exam and becoming a licensed attorney in Missouri, Morgan stayed in Saint Louis and began working for Centene Corporation within the Ambetter Health product line, helping navigate complex state regulatory issues and mental health parity. She moved back to Jasper, Indiana with her husband Jeff (who grew up here) in the summer of 2024 after welcoming their first child, Sawyer, to raise her in this wonderful community, which is one of the reasons Morgan joined the Mentors for Youth Board of Directors in 2025.

Megan was born and raised here in Jasper, Indiana, and went on to graduate from Indiana University in Bloomington, (how many years ago, we won’t mention). She is forever a Hoosier!
Megan spent the last 15 years living in the Indianapolis / Fishers area and
working in curriculum development for the Indiana Association of REALTORS® in their education department, RECP. Her time there was focused on compliance in the non-profit sector. While work and parenting consumed most of her time, Megan did volunteer and participate in Indy Runners, a non-profit organized running group, in preparation for the Indianapolis Mini-Marathon.
In July, Megan moved back to her hometown. She and her daughter are excited to share their life and experiences with family and friends. So far, she has enjoyed being able to slow down and appreciate everything our community really does have to offer. She likes knowing a face around every corner and not being just a number.
