Cigarette maker Lorillard says former White House chief of staff Andrew Card is joining the company's board of directors.
The nation's third-biggest tobacco company announced Card's election to the board on Thursday.
Card said he's eager to play a role in helping the maker of Newport and Maverick brand cigarettes responsibly achieve its long-term objectives.
CEO Murray Kessler said Card's experience in government and industry will further strengthen the Greensboro, N.C.-based company's board.
Card served President George W. Bush as chief of staff and his father, President George H.W. Bush, as deputy chief of staff and as transportation secretary. He also worked in the Reagan administration.
With the addition of Card, Lorillard's board is comprised of nine members, eight of whom are non-executive independent directors.
