St. Louis Fed Little Rock Branch Announces Changes to Board of Directors

1 min read

The Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis announced several changes to its Little Rock Branch board of directors Friday. The appointments are effective as of this month.

Allison J.H. Thompson, president and CEO of the Economic Development Alliance for Jefferson County in Pine Bluff, has been elected board chair for 2025 by the branch’s board of directors. She has served on the board since 2023.

Elizabeth Burns Anderson, senior vice president of Farmers Bank & Trust of Magnolia, has been appointed by the St. Louis Fed board of directors to a three-year term.

Also serving on the board are: Christopher B. Hegi, president and CEO of First Financial Bank of El Dorado; Denise Thomas, CEO of World Trade Center Arkansas at the University of Arkansas; and Darrin Williams, CEO of Southern Bancorp Inc. of Little Rock.

Members of the St. Louis Fed’s board of directors and those of its branch boards in Little Rock, Louisville, Kentucky, and Memphis are familiar with the economic and credit conditions of their respective regions. Their observations — along with the economic data and information gathered and analyzed by St. Louis Fed staff — aim to ensure that conditions of Main Street America are represented in Federal Open Market Committee deliberations in Washington, D.C.

The Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis serves the states that comprise the Federal Reserve’s Eighth District, which includes all of Arkansas, eastern Missouri, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, western Kentucky, western Tennessee and northern Mississippi.
