MEET THE PRESIDENT
 Megan Dover
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.

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!

I once performed during an Atlanta Falcon’s half-time show with Wayne Newton and Shenandoah.
