CORRECTING and REPLACING Baker Tilly Names Jacqueline Wiggins Chief of Staff

Second paragraph, first sentence should read: “We are very pleased that Jacque has joined Baker Tilly,” Baker Tilly CEO Alan Whitman said (instead of “We are very pleased that Jacque has joined Baker Tilly,” Baker Tilly CEO-elect Alan Whitman said).

The corrected release reads:
