Sue Palmore is
owner and CEO of I Two, a boutique translation
agency in Woodstock, IL, handling projects for print, video
and audio-recording with the option to hire simultaneous
meeting interpreters. Their linguistic capability
includes more that 20 languages and subject matter qualified
translators. Apparently far removed from her B.S.
in Foods and Nutrition, she is a perfect example of the
unpredictable careers our graduates can have when their
gifts and ambition match opportunity.
Her early career
was with the Dairy Council of Michigan (Program Coordinator)
and the Dairy Council of Iowa (Executive Director).
She next moved to Director of Consumer Affairs with the
American Farm Bureau in Park Ridge, IL. She was already
winning awards for multi-media projects when she moved to
Director of Communications with National Housewares Manufacturers.
This position included responsibilities with the massive
International Housewares Show at McCormick Place in Chicago.
Before launching her own business in 1990, she took a position
as a video producer for Jack Lieb Productions, where she
marketed video projects, worked with editors, translators
and dubbing of non-English language video versions.
Her productions
have won awards since her employment with the American Farm
Bureau. In 1983, she won a bronze medal for a television
documentary on animal rights at the International Film and
Television Festival in New York. She has won three
CINE Gold Eagles, one in 1988 and two in 1989. Additionally,
she won the Silver Screen Award in 1988.
She has given
back to her community and her alma mater as she has moved
forward in the world of business. Currently a school
board member of the Woodstock Community Unit School District
200, she served as secretary and spokesman for a local political
action committee, People for Woodstock PAC, as well as held
leadership in the Woodstock Chamber of Commerce & Industry.
She was trustee of the D200 Education Foundation and is
active in her neighborhood associations. She has served
on various boards over the years, Better Existence with
HIV, the Iron Horse Campaign and the Valley Junction Rehabilitation
Project. At Purdue she was president of the CFS Alumni
Association in 2001 and 2002.
Her alma mater chose her as a Purdue
Old Master in 1984. In 1994, she was honored as a
Distinguished Alumni of Consumer and Family Sciences.
