WASHINGTON, D.C. - Former Mississippi congressman Mike Espy was appointed last week to serve on the advisory board of the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM).
In his role, Espy will help advise the bank president and board of directors in determining whether to finance businesses seeking to export agricultural products overseas.
Espy, a former Secretary of Agriculture under President Bill Clinton, says the appointment offers him another way to serve the nation.
Espy says the bank plays a major role in contributing to the nation’s farming economy, helping to keep prices strong and to provide funding for businesses that likely otherwise could not get it. (WLBT 07/17/23) Espy tapped for federal export-import bank advisory board role (wdam.com)
