Prior to becoming State Treasurer, Meacham practiced law with the Clinton, Oklahoma-based firm of Meacham and Meacham, specializing in commercial law, probate law, and estate planning. In 1989, he became CEO of First National Bank and Trust in Elk City, Oklahoma, serving in that capacity until 2003. That same year, he was appointed as Director of the Office of State Finance and Secretary of Finance and Administration in the Cabinet of Governor of Oklahoma Brad Henry. He was appointed as State Treasurer in 2005, filling a vacancy created when Robert Butkin resigned to become Dean of the University of Tulsa College of Law.

Meacham was elected to his first full term in office by defeating the Republican nominee, Howard Barnett, in the November 2006 general elections.
