Hershey director steps down

Edward J. Kelly III resigned from The Hershey Co.‘s board of directors.

Edward J. Kelly III resigned from The Hershey Co.‘s board of directors.

Kelly resigned Friday due to increased demands of a recent job change, said Kirk Saville, a Hershey spokesman. Kelly has been a director since Nov. 11.

On Jan. 29, Kelly was named president of Citi Alternative Investments, a division of New York-based Citigroup Inc. Prior to that he was managing director of The Carlyle Group, a Washington, D.C.-based private-equity firm.

Saville said he did not have information on Kelly’s replacement, nor a timeframe for Hershey to name one.

Hershey, based in Derry Township, Dauphin County, is a manufacturer of chocolate and other confectionery products.
