Proper Usage of Pronoun

"In order for Erin and I to be effective in our efforts, we must not allow anger to intercede."
"In order for Erin and I to be effective in our efforts, we must not allow anger to intercede."

Hi Anonymous,

Instead of "Erin and me," try substituting the plural pronouns...us, or we.
You wouldn't say, "In order for we to be effective..." so you know it is the objective you are looking for, therefore, it is, "In order for Erin and me to be effective...."
