The Corydon Democrat
Wednesday, December 11, 2002

Joel Voyles of Palmyra has been selected to serve on the 21-member board of directors of the Harrison County Community Foundation.

He was elected by the board at its annual meeting Dec. 3 to fill the vacancy created by Earl Book, who retired from the board.

Voyles is the senior vice president of retail at First Harrison Bank and has 27 years experience in the banking industry. He is a 1970 graduate of North Harrison High School and holds a 1975 bachelor's degree in business management from Indiana University Southeast. He and his wife, Cyndi, and their 15-year-old daughter, Kim, live in Palmyra.

Officers for 2003 were also selected during the annual meeting. Carl Uesseler, who resigned as chairman, will be replaced by Gordon Pendleton, the first chairman who served in that position until January 2002.

"After being elected to the South Harrison school board," said Uesseler, "I just felt I needed to step down to avoid any appearance of a conflict of interest."

Sally Williar of Elizabeth will serve a second term as vice chair, and Tom Tucker of Corydon will continue as treasurer. Qudsia Davis of Corydon will serve her first term as secretary.
