U.S. Rep. French Hill spoke to the Exchequer Club at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington last week, telling its members about the House Financial Services Committee's efforts to overhaul the nation's financial regulatory policy.

The Republican from Little Rock serves on the committee.

The Exchequer's Club, which was founded in 1960, attracts civic and business leaders from across the city.

Politico has described it as "sort of a social society for financial types."

Hill is the former chairman and chief executive officer of Delta Trust and Banking Corp., a Little Rock financial institution that he founded and led before its purchase in 2014 by Simmons First National Corp. of Pine Bluff.

Hill served as deputy assistant secretary of the Treasury for corporate finance, and was later a special assistant to the president and executive secretary to the Economic Policy Council.
