This podcast features another brief look behind the scenes at PennFuture, building on the conversations last week and the previous week. PennFuture’s intrepid podcaster and Federal Policy Manager Joy Bergey has a short discussion with Pam Fendrock, our northeast Pennsylvania outreach coordinator. Pam talks about her special feelings for the area, and that she believes PennFuture is the best way to improve the place she calls home. She also discusses the area’s problems dealing with the aftermath of anthracite mining. Finally, she invites supporters to visit her office in Wilkes-Barre on the Public Square, located right next to Circles Sandwich Shop, which she calls the “best sandwich shop in town.”

Keeping all of our staff and offices up and running takes help from our supporters. If you aren't already a PennFuture member, there's no time like the present to donate. Together, we're changing Pennsylvania for the better!

This podcast features a look behind the scenes at PennFuture, building on last week's conversation. Tanya Dierolf, our outreach coordinator for Central Pennsylvania gets to know better her counterpart, Joylette Portlock, our outreach coordinator for Western Pennsylvania. We learn more about how Joylette got to know PennFuture (the infamous Pittsburgh holiday party is mentioned!), and a bit more about one of her main projects, the Black and Gold City Goes Green.

Tanya then chats with staff attorney Brian Glass, who works out of our Philadelphia office. Brian describes his career switch from private practice, where he defended the sorts of clients he now fights against at PennFuture, lending his skills and expertise toward assisting citizens dealing with problems like improper stormwater management in communities. He's having a lot more fun working on this side of the table, and making an important difference in people's lives doing so.
