“Community doesn't require that you have the same opinions. It just requires that you share a passion.” - Marjorie Anderson

In the middle of July, we announced that we were searching for a new podcast correspondent to help us expand the stories we tell. We had an incredible response to the program–117 applications! We decided in the end to bring on not just one, but two correspondents: Marjorie Anderson and Whitney Ogutu.

We’ve been training Marjorie and Whitney over the past few months on our editorial voice, how to do outreach, how to interview, and to edit, and we’re excited to share that they've recorded their interviews.

In advance of hearing her first episode, today we will introduce you to the playful, diligent, sunshine-energied Marjorie Anderson. By day she leads the community at Project Management Institute. In the evenings, she runs her own community and blog, Community by Association.

Marjorie, in her words, “makes a great dinner party host but a terrible dinner party guest.” While an introvert, Marjorie is an orchestrator of connection with a gift for bringing people together.
