Anne Pitts Marozas hired as Marfa Public Radio executive director

Anne Pitts Marozas began as executive director of Marfa Public Radio in Texas Monday. 

She succeeds Elise Pepple, who stepped down in March.

“Public radio is part of the fabric of a community, and I’m honored to help Marfa Public Radio deepen and expand that role,” Marozas said in an announcement on the station’s website. 

She was previously executive director of the Levitt Shell, a historic amphitheater in Memphis, Tenn. She also advised on the development of community radio station WYXR in Memphis. 

Marozas began her career as an attorney, according to her LinkedIn page.

“There’s real opportunity right now,” Marozas said in the announcement. “To build stronger local partnerships. To reflect more voices across West Texas and the Permian Basin. To continue telling the stories that feel honest and grounded. And to be a station where people hear themselves—and discover something new. We have everything we need: vision, talent, and a community that shows up and cares.”
