It’s been a year of change for Out Front Blog: we’ve begun podcasting, featured Q&As with community icons like Billie Jean King and added new voices to the blog. That change continues with the departure of two of our contributing bloggers and the addition of two new contributing bloggers.
Sadly, we’ve lost Patricia Archambault and Jon Garbo to new jobs. We’ve greatly enjoyed their unique points of view and their individual eloquence and will miss their continued contributions to this blog. We’re not going to miss their previous posts, however. In fact, we’re going to make a change to our blogger list to preserve them with the addition of a new “Former Contributors” category to the left-hand column of this blog. We’ll move Patricia, Jon and Mark Senak to this listing in the coming weeks so that we can keep their blog posts up but avoid any confusion about who is blogging now and in the future.
Fortunately, sad changes often have a silver lining. In fact, the departure of two of our colleagues presents an opportunity to add two new voices to the blogging team. And we’ve found two additional distinctive voices to join us here in our little corner of cyberspace. I’m pleased to announce that our colleagues Kim West and Laura Nguyen will soon join us on the Out Front Blog. Kim and Laura are both FH colleagues from our Kansas City office. Kim is an acknowledged consumer marketing expert with two decades of diverse communications experience. Laura is an up-and-coming communicator who speaks Vietnamese and brings another youthful voice to the Out Front Blog as well as the perspective of a native Midwesterner. Stay tuned for Kim and Laura’s debut posts in December.
If you’d like to offer your own goodbyes or welcomes to our contributors, please feel free to post a comment below. We look forward to hearing from you as we continue to grow and change.
