The title of your question doesn't match your code and the error message... You probably meant "Converting List to PersonifyCollection" — Thomas Levesque, May 04 '15 at 18:48
Anyway, we can't answer this question, because PersonifyCollection seems to be a class in your own code... — Thomas Levesque, May 04 '15 at 18:49

We don't know what methods your PersonifyCollection class has, so we can't tell you how to convert to it, or if it has any methods to do so. You could try:

var something=new PersonifyCollection<MemberCommunicationPreferences>(memberCommunicationPreferences);

If your custom collection implements the standard constructor that takes an IEnumerable, that should work.
