Amy E. Wilson has been elected corporate secretary of The Dow Chemical Company by the Board of Directors and has been named assistant general counsel effective February 1.

She replaces Charles J. Kalil as corporate secretary. Mr. Kahlil will continue as executive vice president and general counsel. Wilson continues to report to Kalil.

"During the past six years Amy has developed deep expertise and has consistently demonstrated outstanding leadership in the Office of the Corporate Secretary," said chairman and chief executive officer, Andrew N. Liveris. "The directors and I value and have complete confidence in her advice and guidance on critical corporate governance issues."

"Amy's election to the role of corporate secretary is in recognition of her proven track record, not only in developing and maintaining best corporate governance practices to ensure board effectiveness, but also for her role as a trusted advisor on a wide range of issues," said Kalil.
