Harriet Lair rejoins board to help guide child abuse prevention agency to greater impact

Family & Children’s Place is pleased to welcome Harriet Lair back to its Board of Directors. The agency, which is celebrating its 135th anniversary, leads efforts in the Louisville area to prevent, stop, and heal child violence, abuse, exploitation, and neglect.

Lair, a vice president, commercial relationship manager, at Fifth Third Bank, left the board a year ago when her term expired, but members elected to invite her to rejoin the board. Family & Children’s Place board members are unpaid volunteers and serve three-year terms.

Additionally, she will serve as vice chair of the 2018-2019 board service year.

“I am so delighted to have Harriet Lair come back to the board,” said President and CEO Pam Darnall. “Harriet has been not only a true servant leader on the board, she also has been a steadfast friend and supporter of the agency, participating in and attending fundraisers, events, and ably representing our  work throughout the Louisville area community.”

Lair began her career as an investment accountant at Fifth Third Bank and through the years has served in several different positions. In 1994, she started the Government and Institutional (G&I) group in the Louisville market.
