Heather Myklegard

Director of Communications

Heather Myklegard brings more than 20 years of nonprofit experience to her role as Director of Communications at PathForward. Her passion for advancing missions that uplift communities began with her very first job out of college at a rescue mission in Boise, Idaho, where she saw firsthand the power of compassion and connection.

Since then, Heather has led communications and marketing efforts for a diverse range of nonprofit organizations, with a focus on storytelling, community engagement, and brand development. At PathForward, she is dedicated to amplifying the voices of clients, strengthening partnerships, and inspiring the community to take action toward ending homelessness in Arlington.

Outside of work, Heather enjoys spending time with her family and their doodle, and can often be found cheering on the boys’ flag football or basketball team, in the gym, or traveling.
