Joe Yetzer — Strategic Operations & Communications Advisor
Joe Yetzer is Meghan’s oldest son and brings a grounded, thoughtful presence to the Survive Out Loud board. With a B.S. in Marketing from the University of Minnesota’s Carlson School of Management and professional experience in Inventory and Asset Management, he offers creative insight, steady organization, and practical operational support.
Joe supported his mom closely throughout her cancer journey, witnessing firsthand the emotional, mental, and logistical challenges survivors face long after treatment ends. His lived experience as both a caregiver and family member gives him a unique perspective on what survivors and their loved ones truly need. Being part of the SOL team is a deeply personal way for him to help ensure no one has to navigate survivorship alone.
Outside of Survive Out Loud, Joe enjoys hiking and birding with his girlfriend, Zoe, and spending time with their beloved blind cat, Charlie, who proudly serves as the self-appointed supervisor of all household activities.
