  Presenters

  Marcie English

  Prior to stepping into her role as a grant and programs associate with CareQuest Institute for Oral Health, Marceline spent seven years at the Florida Association of Free and Charitable Clinics, managing a private-public partnership with the state's Department of Health. With skills in program evaluation, impact measurement, and project management, she is enthusiastic about contributing to CareQuest Institute's mission of enhancing oral health outcomes for underserved communities. On a personal note, when she is not immersed in grantmaking, she loves exploring Florida's beaches and taking Auggie, her mini Aussie, everywhere. She is always open to discussing her latest reality show binge, whether it's chatting about Real Housewives or dissecting Love Is Blind.

  Megan Tenpas

  Megan recently joined the CareQuest Institute for Oral Health philanthropy team as a grants and programs associate managing the Midwest portfolio of grants.

  Prior to joining CareQuest Institute, Megan spent more than eight years working for Delta Dental of Wisconsin, both as part of their marketing team and as a grants manager for their oral-health foundation. Through her foundation work, Megan combined her joy of helping people with a newfound love for oral health access and equity.

  Megan has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Journalism and Mass Communication from the University of Minnesota and a Master of Public Health degree from Creighton University. Based in central Wisconsin, she is married with two sons and enjoys spending time on the lake and exploring the outdoors.
