William Niles Wishard, III (1941 – 2024)

Born in Indianapolis, Wishard attended Park Tudor School and then Williams College (Massachusetts). He was a leader in Up with People, the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, and Wishard & Associates, where he organized international peace events. Wishard’s Olympic work began in 1982 when he joined the Citizens Advisory Council working toward the preparation of the 1984 Games. The Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee chose him to work as a full-time employee in 1983, because of his previous experience organizing international tours.
