From Operation Hope:
A national community leader cited by the past four sitting U.S. presidents for his work to empower low-wealth communities across America and author of BANKING ON OUR FUTURE, a book on youth and family financial literacy by Beacon Press, John Bryant is a noted business builder, corporate-to-community bridge builder, social entrepreneur, Presidential appointee and advisor to governments, and one of the most authoritative and compelling advocates for poverty eradication in America today. John Bryant has a powerful and clear vision for the eradication of poverty in the 21st Century, which he calls "The Silver Rights Movement". To the producer of the NBC Weekend Today Show, John Bryant is “a revolutionary of our times,” and to U.S. President George W. Bush, John Bryant is “a social entrepreneur.”
Three times during the 20th Century TIME Magazine has compiled a list of America’s future leadership. On December 5th, 1994, John Bryant was selected by TIME Magazine as “One of America’s 50 Most Promising Leaders of the Future,” as part of their 50 for the Future cover story.
On October 18th, 2004, the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, nominated John Bryant as one of 237 young leaders selected from around the world to serve as a member of the new Forum of Young Global Leaders. Chaired by Her Majesty Queen Rania of Jordan, the Forum of Young Global Leaders is comprised of “a community of extraordinary leaders who are 40 years old or younger, clearly exceptional on a global level, and (those who) will have a visible opportunity to have significant impact on world affairs.”
On June 13th, 2004, John Bryant became a Presidential appointee when U.S. President George W. Bush appointed him to a 4-year term on the non-partisan U.S. Community Development Advisory Board for the CDFI Fund at the U.S. Department of the Treasury, and on May 8th, 2004, John Bryant received an Honorary Doctorate Degree of Human Letters from Paul Quinn College in Dallas, Texas, for his work around education and poverty eradication.
