Marna Ashburn
In 2009, Marna Ashburn purchased the domain name “ethicsandetiquette.com” intending to construct a conversation about ethical behavior and civility around it. With Mike and Kelly’s help, the podcast is now a reality. Author of four published books and numerous articles, Marna also taught writing at the university level for ten years. She was on active duty in the Army for five years after college, and then was a military spouse for twenty years.

Kelly Halligan Zimmerman
Kelly Halligan Zimmerman is a practicing Virginia attorney. She has substantial experience in commercial transactions and customer negotiations and has also litigated in state and federal trial and appellate courts involving contract, corporate, criminal, employment, and real estate matters. She and her husband, Mark, are the parents of three children. Kelly was a college volleyball scholarship athlete and loves sports, especially women’s athletics and the Philadelphia Eagles and Phillies. She’s excited to join Marna and Mike in discussing and debating ethics and etiquette, particularly since in today’s hectic, technology-reliant society, it can be easy to lose track of right and wrong and how to treat others with kindness, respect and dignity.
