										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>USA Swimming has announced that Chrissi Rawak will no longer be assuming the role of President and CEO, just nine days after initially naming her to the position. The organization cited &#8220;unforeseen personal circumstances&#8221; as the reason for this sudden change. As a result, Shana Ferguson will continue to serve as the Interim CEO while the organization reassesses its leadership plans.</p>
<p>Rawak’s appointment was originally made public on February 19th, and as of the latest announcement, she was still listed in the position on USA Swimming’s website. The unexpected nature of her withdrawal has left the organization in a temporary state of transition as they work to fill her role.</p>
