Alex is passionate about leading and living from the heart. For over 15 years, he has dedicated his career to working for social equity and coaching others to articulate and act on their vision for a more just world. Prior to joining TMC, Alex served as the executive director of More Light Presbyterians for over eight years. There, he empowered faith leaders to welcome LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC neighbors into worship communities and to advocate for justice in their broader secular communities. Alex has worked to elect LGBTQIA+ leaders, advocated for reproductive justice, and won state, national, and denominational legislation affirming and protecting the rights and dignities of queer and trans people. Before earning a Master\u2019s of Divinity from Harvard University, Alex got his start in LGBTQIA+ and reproductive rights activism as an undergraduate at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. Alex is a white, queer, transgender man, an ordained minister in the Presbyterian Church, U.S.A, and holds a coaching certification through the International Coaching Federation. Alex lives in his hometown of Asheville, North Carolina, where he spends his time kayaking with his dog Spike, hiking in the mountains, and planning adventures with his partner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":14411,"template":"","team":[59,54],"class_list":["post-10311","staff-board","type-staff-board","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","team-coaching","team-progressive-sector"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nAlex Patchin McNeill - The Management Center<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.managementcenter.org\/staff-board\/alex-patchin-mcneill\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Alex Patchin McNeill - The Management Center\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Alex is passionate about leading and living from the heart.
