Counsel Public Affairs is pleased to welcome Kevina Meighan as Executive Assistant and newest addition to the Toronto team.
With over a decade of experience as an executive professional across government, association, and business environments, Kevina brings extensive expertise to executive office operations, stakeholder relationship management, and strategic coordination.
“I worked closely with Kevina for seven years and know firsthand that she is one of the best at what she does. She has great judgement, gets things done and helps the people around her excel. She makes an organization stronger simply by being part of it. I couldn’t be happier to be working with her again at Counsel.” said Tim Hudak, Partner & Ontario Practice Lead.
Prior to joining Counsel, Kevina served as the Manager and Senior Executive Assistant at the Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA) for eight years, where she provided strategic executive support to the Chief Executive Officer, President, President-Elect, and Past President for one of Canada’s largest professional associations. Through leadership changes, Kevina was the trusted source of institutional knowledge and someone senior and volunteer leaders knew they could count on.
She began her career in Belfast, Northern Ireland, working in the public service which included the Chief Executive’s Office at the Department for Communities. This formative experience provided her with a strong foundation in working with senior officials, managing sensitive information, and navigating complex organizational and stakeholder environments.
Her combination of government, association, and industry experience provides a strong understanding of the intersection between leadership, governance, stakeholder relations, and public affairs.
Kevina holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from York University and the Certified Association Executive (CAE®) designation from the Canadian Society of Association Executives (CSAE).
