Mac McGehee, a supporter of the Mississippi Center for Public Policy since its inception, joined the Board of Directors in July of 2020.

He also worked with Regions Bank Trust Department in Natural Resources managing oil and gas assets in a twelve-state footprint.

Since returning home to Mississippi, Mac has been active in the Boy Scouts (Andrew Jackson Council) with his son, has served as trustee of Jackson Preparatory School and is on the board of directors of the Jackson Preparatory Global Leadership Institute.
