Megan Chorlton’s career path has taken a number of twists and turns over the years. She set out by obtaining a B.Ed from McGill University and a M.Ed. from the University of Alberta in the 1990’s, followed by seven years of teaching elementary and special education. Her career path took a sharp turn when she returned to school in 2002 to obtain a LLB from the University of Alberta. She then clerked for the Alberta Court of Queen's Bench and the Alberta Court of Appeal and was called to the bar in British Columbia in 2007.

After specializing in municipal and insurance defence litigation while working at a large regional law firm for seven years, Megan joined the Municipal Insurance Association of British Columbia (MIABC) as a staff lawyer in 2013. Her career veered in an interesting direction in 2014 when she was appointed as the Director of Member Services. Megan found that her new position afforded her the ideal opportunity to marry her teaching and legal skills while overseeing the delivery of risk management services to the membership and guiding the MIABCs marketing and communications initiatives.

Presentably, Megan acts as both the Director of Member Services and the MIABC’s General Counsel. In her role as General Counsel, Megan is responsible for overseeing the MIABC’s in house legal department, managing relationships with external litigation and corporate counsel, and providing legal advice to the MIABC’s Board of Directors.
