Please join us in welcoming Mari Bergeron as KMUN's new station manager!

Mari returns back home to Astoria after years away to join KMUN. While away, she worked in legal and academic publishing and in the nonprofit world on the east coast. She's delighted to be back in Clatsop County and in the world of community radio.

You may find Mari making pottery, gardening, or cooking up a new recipe - or (as rumor has it) playing the accordion.

Welcome, Mari!
