EM Selects Meyer as Director of Communications and Stakeholder Engagement

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Department of Energy Office of Environmental Management (EM) has named Carrie Meyer as its director of communications and stakeholder engagement, overseeing a newly integrated office that serves to build transparency and foster constructive dialogue and collaboration with the people of EM, including the workforce, congressional representatives, state and local elected leaders, tribal and pueblo representatives, community leaders and media members.

Meyer has served as director of EM’s Office of Communications and Office of Intergovernmental and Stakeholder Programs in an acting capacity since earlier this year. As the cleanup program's executive leading communications and stakeholder engagement, Meyer plays a critical role in delivering the EM mission, and understands the value of proactive public engagement in achieving alignment on shared cleanup priorities.

An EM team member for over 17 years, Meyer has extensive experience in the field at Hanford, the nation’s largest environmental remediation site. She brings 30 years of experience in communications, policy development, marketing, and public affairs in the government and commercial sectors involved in engineering, construction, environmental remediation and nuclear power.

Before becoming communications director for the Hanford Site, Meyer served as the acting director for public affairs for the National Nuclear Security Administration. She has also completed a variety of assignments supporting leadership in EM and the broader DOE, focusing on communications, congressional interactions, tribal engagement, and policy development and implementation.
