Siskin Children's Institute is proud to welcome three new board members with long track records of doing positive things for the Chattanooga community.

Susan O’Hare, Bill Wilder and JoAnn Yates were all sworn into their positions at the board’s March 16 meeting. Read about the full board here.

Ms. O’Hare comes to the Institute with a wide breadth of experience in pediatric healthcare. She has served as CEO of a children’s hospital and has managed a multi-specialty physician practice.

Mr. Wilder has more than 35 years of experience in the insurance industry. He serves currently as agency manager and vice president of BB&T Huffaker and Trimble in downtown Chattanooga.

Mrs. Yates has a long history of charitable works in the Chattanooga area. Her focus over the years has been in the areas of education, children and families, and the arts. In 2006, she was presented the American Lung Association of Tennessee Women of Distinction Award for her philanthropy.

The board is chaired by Wells Fargo Advsiors Director of Investments Ward Petty, who served previously as vice chair of the board. He replaces David I. Binder, who now holds the position of immediate past chair.

Siskin Children's Institute board members are appointed for three-year terms. There are now 20 members on the board. Seven members form a separate Advisory Committee.
