Easterseals Happiness House (ESHH) is proud to welcome Carrie Rasmussen as the agency’s Community Engagement Director. Rasmussen will lead community engagement, communication, special event production and other community-focused enterprises, supporting critical fund raising for children, youth and adults with disabilities in Southwest Florida.
Rasmussen comes to the agency after 13 years with the Herald-Tribune Media Group where she served as the Brand Marketing Manager, leading marketing, event and community stewardship efforts. Her experiences will amplify the agency’s goals as it enters into planning for its 75th anniversary, ESHH President and CEO Tom Waters said.
“Enhancing Easterseals’ voice in the community was a natural next step as the agency continues to expand its services,” Waters said. “Given Carrie’s extensive experiences in our community and her history with the agency, the fit was natural and we couldn’t be more excited to bolster our community events as well as continue to announce enrichments in our many therapeutic services, especially our autism services.”
The move is a return to a personal favorite community-based appeal for Rasmussen, who served as the agency’s marketing and public relations director in the early 2000s.
“Easterseals’ mission always resonated with me and I’m thrilled to return,” Rasmussen said. “Especially with the opportunity to contribute — now and for generations to come — to this storied agency’s legacy of providing services and therapies to people who live every day with disabilities.”
Rasmussen will begin her role at the agency on Oct. 21.
