Lindsay Messinger joins the Fulbright Association as Membership and Operations Coordinator. In this role, she supports board and committee operations, member and donor engagement, and the coordination of special events. Lindsay brings a genuine passion for international travel and is a dedicated advocate for accessible global experiences.

Before joining the Fulbright Association, Lindsay served on the Strategic Partnerships and Development team at NAFSA: Association of International Educators. Her work focused on supporting global partners, exhibitors, and sponsors for the Annual Conference and Expo, contributing to the New Century Circle planned giving program, and assisting with member and partner engagement initiatives that strengthened NAFSA’s global mission.

Lindsay is completing her Master’s degree in Speech Language Pathology at the George Washington University, with graduation planned for May 2026. Her commitment to international education began during an exchange in Chiang Mai, Thailand, where she provided speech services to children in remote communities with limited access to clinical resources. Collaborating with families and local professionals shaped her understanding of cultural competence and global collaboration and ultimately inspired her pursuit of a career centered on international education and exchange.
