Today WAE announced that Kari Rasmussen has accepted the position of Director of Wausau Area Events. Kari has been the Events Coordinator for roughly three years, and during that time the prominent events in the community have all seen growth and improvement.
I have known Kari for over a decade, and I think she is a great choice. The naming of someone so familiar to both the community, and to the events, is a wise choice.
In a press release Terry Sturm, the President of Wausau Area Events, said: “We are certainly pleased to have someone of Ms. Rasmussen’s capabilities and talents helping to continue the Wausau Area Events tradition of bringing top-notch entertainment options to the Wausau area. Her familiarity with the organization and the events themselves will make for a very seamless transition as we enter into the 2010 event season. “
Congrats, Kari. We wish you well. Knock ‘em dead!

Kari is actually a former employee of mine.
When it came to attention to detail, I can easily say in the employees that we have had over the last 16-17 years, she was second to none.
(However, when we let her re-organize the supply room, she put the printer ink on the top shelf – that may work for her but the rest of us needed a step-stool – LOL)
Congratulations on the new title, but I believe she has probably actually been doing the job for a while now – which made the promotion well deserved.
