Officers
Ingrid Miles, President
Ingrid has been a resident of Ipswich for 38 years – also known as a newcomer in a town that was founded in 1634. She and her husband have 2 grown sons and had attended Ipswich schools. Ingrid began her role as President for IEF in 2020 and has served as a community servant consistently including Board of Selectpersons for 2 terms, Fincom for 2 terms, Ipswich Housing Partnership coincidentally as well as various board positions. She is committed to preserving the heritage of this exceptional community demonstrated in the restoration of her 1728 home in the Architectural Preservation District. Ingrid is an original author (1 of 4 authors) of the Demolition Delay By-Law that is often noted during her real estate transactions for historic homes as REALTOR. One of her favorite volunteer efforts was as Chair of the Ipswich Riverwalk Project and overseeing the restoration of the footbridge in place over the Ipswich River (dedicated in 2006), a vision that grew out of 10 years of celebrating the significance of the Ipswich River (Ipswich River Festival). Having grandchildren has spurred on her commitment to education, no matter what age…we all can continue to learn!
David Mooradd, Vice President
David Mooradd is a husband and the father of two in the Ipswich school system. By day, he makes a living as a microwave and antenna systems engineer at MIT Lincoln Laboratory. He has been a resident of Ipswich since 2004. In that time period he has been engaged in various school community projects including serving as project foreman for the Winthrop playground build, and serving on the Select Board subcommittee to address the safety deficiencies of the five railroad crossings in town. What he has learned is that community engagement at all levels is impactful.
