MEET THE PRESIDENT

Meet Megan Dover, Marketing Manager New
Video Services, Cox Communications and President,
CTAM Georgia. Here are five fun facts about
Megan to help you get
to know her better:
Where do you live?
I’m a Georgia girl, born and raised! I live in a little suburb
of Atlanta called Peachtree Corners.
What is your favorite TV show?
I hate reality TV – favorites in my house are “NCIS” and “The
Closer.”
Are you a cat or a dog person?
Both, I have a menagerie!
Where is your favorite vacation spot?
The perfect vacation spot for me has a lot of stuff to do. We
discovered Charlottesville, VA a few years ago. It was great –
lots of history, great food, a decent wine trail and it had a
really fun college town vibe!
What is a fun fact people may not know about you?
I once performed during an Atlanta Falcon’s half-time show with
Wayne Newton and Shenandoah.
