Bill Bynum is CEO of HOPE, a credit union, loan fund, and policy center dedicated to improving lives in the Delta, home to some of America’s most entrenched poverty. Previously, Bynum helped establish Self-Help, a pioneer in the development finance industry, and built nationally recognized programs at the North Carolina Rural Economic Development Center. Bynum has advised Presidents Clinton, Bush, and Obama on development finance matters, serving for 10 years as chairman of the Treasury Department's Community Development Advisory Board. He currently chairs the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s Consumer Advisory Board.

It is unconscionable that the deep-rooted poverty that cripples places like the Mississippi Delta is tolerated in the midst of the incredible wealth that exists in America. I'm proud to be part of an effort that's committed to closing the opportunity divides that have persisted for far too long.
