Podcast Host & PhD Candidate, The Purple Zone podcast

Alexis Morgan brings over 20 years of experience in education, with a deep commitment to strengthening schools and supporting families across Idaho. She is a past president of the Idaho Congress of Parents and Teachers and continues to serve on its board as the Director of Public Policy. Alexis is the host of The Purple Zone, a podcast exploring how systems shape our communities, from policy on paper to action in practice. Through The Purple Zone, Alexis engages in a broader exploration of public policy in action, especially as it impacts Idahoans—whether in education, health, housing, or local governance. The podcast also features the human side of public policy.

Alexis works with Dignity.US, the organization that founded and teaches The Dignity Index. She travels around the US both speaking and leading workshops. The Dignity Index is designed to ease divisions, prevent violence, and solve problems. 

She is currently a Ph.D. candidate in Public Policy and Administration at Boise State University. She holds a Master of Science in Adult Organizational Learning and Leadership and a Bachelor’s in History and Geography Teaching. Alexis has held numerous leadership roles, including serving as a school board director and on the boards of several Idaho nonprofits.

Outside of work, she enjoys life with her husband and four kids, hiking Idaho’s trails, and finding joy in everyday moments—especially the ones that bring a good laugh.
