Recognizing a woman who tirelessly serves Noblesville residents, passionately moves the city forward, is an exemplary steward within the community and has a commitment to making a positive impact in the Noblesville community is the focus of Women In Noblesville (WIN) Network’s Woman of Impact Award.
The Noblesville Chamber of Commerce honored Megan Wiles as its fourth annual WIN Woman of Impact Award winner at Mustard Seed Gardens in Noblesville on Aug. 27.
“I’m very honored to receive this award,” Wiles said. “There are many women who make an impact on our community each and every day. I’m proud to work alongside them to continue to make Noblesville such a wonderful place to work and call home. Thank you to the Noblesville Chamber and the Women In Noblesville leaders and committee for this award. And a special thank you to my family for always being so supportive.”
Wiles’ roots in the community run deep. She is a graduate of Noblesville High School, active at St. Michael’s Episcopal Church, and serves on the Conner Prairie Board of Directors. Professionally, she is the vice president of the Foundation and Community Affairs for Riverview Health.
“Megan is the definition of a woman of impact,” Riverview Health President and CEO Dave Hyatt said. “I’ve personally witnessed Megan’s tenacity and grit when advocating for the health, wellbeing, and prosperity of her fellow Noblesville residents. She does this without ego and is always asking how she can do more.”
Wiles is a graduate of the Hamilton County Leadership Academy Class of 2000. She recently served as Dean of the HCLA Class of 2025. The dean plays an integral role in creating the class culture and connectivity and provides meaningful insight and expertise throughout the class experience.
“Megan has had an incredible impact on each one of us in the HCLA Class of 2025, in the same way she does in the entire community,” Hamilton County Community Foundation President Danielle Stiles-Polk said. “Megan didn’t just show up as a leader on class day, she truly invested in us. She took the time to get to know each one of us beyond the sessions we shared. She celebrated our wins, shared in our struggles and went out of her way to make sure we were having meaningful conversations in a safe space.”
Wiles was called into public service in 2015 and is in her third term on the Noblesville Common Council. She represents District 6, a large portion of the east side of Noblesville. She currently serves as the council president, her third time leading the group. She also served as the co-chair for the city’s Bicentennial Committee in 2023.

“While Megan is a smart, committed leader, she serves in a humble manner,” said WIN Co-Chair Kathy Young, vice president commercial lending at First Merchants Bank. “She is obviously a convener and connector of people, but she does it in a way that is about the objective and not about her. She is collaborative, cooperative and seeks to understand all perspectives. Megan has served across many different roles and organizations in Noblesville, which have demonstrated her commitment to stewardship and service. Many of the committees and roles she has served in focuses on good stewardship of organization and municipal resources.”
Woman of Impact nominations are submitted by the public and reviewed by WIN leadership. Previous Woman of Impact Award winners include Esther Lakes (2024), Julia Church Kozicki (2023), and Anita Hagen (2022).
