Henry Wilkinson’s board service began in 1987 as a member of Mission Hospital’s board and as chair of the Mission Foundation board. Rather than having a little involvement with many organizations, he kept this singular focus believing it could have the greatest impact on the residents of our region. Now as a member of Dogwood’s Investment Committee, he serves side by side with a core group that has a similar focus and is focused on results not acknowledgement.  

Henry grew up in Marion and moved to Asheville in 1975. He spent 20 years in the packaging business before becoming a private equity investor. In addition to serving on Dogwood’s Investment Committee, he previously served on the Endowment Investment Committee at Wofford College. He and his wife Susan, a recently retired radiologist from Jacksonville, Florida, spend as must time as possible with their twin grandsons.
