Megan E. Bennett has been elected to the West Side Catholic Center’s Board of Directors. Megan has been involved with the West Side Catholic Center since 2014, previously serving as a member of the Associate Board, Co-Chair of the Sips and Swigs Fundraiser, and a member of the Advancement Committee.
Since 1977, the West Side Catholic Center has offered hot meals, hospitality, clothing and household goods, emergency services, advocacy, a family shelter, housing solutions, and workforce development training to those in need at no charge, regardless of religious affiliation. The West Side Catholic Center was established in 1977 by several area churches that saw a critical need within the community due to extreme poverty. We are a unique, private, not-for-profit agency with Catholic roots, independent of the Catholic Diocese and Catholic Charities.
Megan focuses her practice on the representation of management in all aspects of labor and employment law.

Additionally, Megan aids in the defense of employers in discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and various other employment-related claims before judicial bodies and administrative agencies. She received her J.D.,
summa cum laude, from Cleveland-Marshall College of Law. Megan also has a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science and Communications from the University of Dayton.
