COLUMBUS, OH — Shumaker Partner Meagan R. Cyrus has been selected to participate in the COGENCE Emerging Leaders Program, a distinguished leadership development initiative designed to cultivate the next generation of leaders in the design and construction industry.

The three-year program provides participants with unique opportunities to build relationships with owners, architects, engineers, and contractors while developing the leadership skills and industry perspective necessary to drive meaningful change across the construction sector.

A member of Shumaker’s Litigation & Disputes Service Line, Meagan focuses her practice on complex insurance coverage disputes and bad faith litigation.
