BiographyRoger Meece was born in Indianapolis, Indiana in 1949. He graduated with a B.A. in mathematics from Michigan State University in 1971,[2] and attended the National Defense College of Canada for one year. Before joining the Foreign Service, Meece served extensively in Africa, beginning as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Sierra Leone in the early 1970s. He subsequently worked in Peace Corps assignments in Washington, D.C., Niger, Cameroon, and the Republic of the Congo (Brazzaville), culminating with an appointment as the Peace Corps Country Director in Gabon. CareerMeece joined the State Department in 1979. His early assignments included postings to the United States embassies in Cameroon (1979–1981) and in Malawi (1981–1984). He later served in more senior roles, including posts such as Deputy Chief of Mission in Brazzaville (Republic of Congo) and Kinshasa (Democratic Republic of Congo), and as Consul General in Halifax (Nova Scotia, Canada). In Washington, Meece has served in the Bureau of International Narcotics Matters (1986–1988), on detail to the Office of the Vice President, and as Director for Central African Affairs (1998–2000) at the State Department. In 2004 he was briefly diplomat-in-residence at Florida International University. Meece's State Department career culminated with his two ambassadorships during the 2000s. Mostly notably, he played a central role in leading the international community efforts to help the Congolese government organize the free elections of 2006 in the Democratic Republic of Congo. After his retirement from the U.S. State Department, Meece was appointed by the United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon as his Special Representative for the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Head of the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo(MONUSCO) on 9 June 2010.[3] He replaced Alan Doss of the United Kingdom in this role.
