Dec 12 (Reuters) - U.S. banking powerhouse JPMorgan Chase JPM.N on Thursday announced the election of Hershey's HSY.N CEO Michele Buck to its board, effective March 17.

Buck, 63, is also the president and board chairman of Hershey, the snacking and confectionary company behind successful brands such as Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and Milk Duds.
