From Times Wire Reports

A former nun and conflict resolution expert is leaving Wal-Mart Stores Inc., just over a year after she was hired to help the world’s largest retailer rally support from environmental groups and other nonprofit organizations in its battles with union-led critics.

Harriet Hentges was hired in July 2006 to work with outside groups to develop Wal-Mart policies in areas including the environment and healthcare.

Hentges will leave Friday for personal reasons, Wal-Mart spokesman David Tovar said. He declined to elaborate.
