“We are very fortunate to have a person of Sue’s background and experience that can step into this role," Duncan said in a release. "The Foundation is in the early stages of executing our growth strategy, and Sue is the right person to provide the direction and execution we are expecting over the next several years.”

Rasmus said she looks forward to starting her new role on September 26 and says she's excited to focus on the District 204 community full time. 

"It's an honor to be brought on in this capacity, especially this year as the Foundation celebrates its 25th Anniversary," she said in a release. "I think the IPEF is one of those hidden gems that everyone may not be familiar with. I look forward to helping share their story as we work to increase community awareness and involvement."
