Young Americans Bank and Center for Financial Education are honored to welcome six new Board Members this year to help lead our organization. Their experience and passion are such an asset to both institutions, and they are already hard at work providing guidance, support, and oversight. Meet all six Board Members below!
Chris Becze, Armanino
Chris Becze, Armanino
As Tax Partner at Armanino, Becze leads the Tax Department’s business development efforts, working hand-in-hand with tax partners and other leaders across industries and geographic areas. Becze’s extensive tax, legal, and business development experience will help guide the Young Americans Center for Financial Education Board. According to Becze, “I believe each child should possess at least a basic understanding of how the financial system works and its importance, not just domestically, but globally. While banking is only one part of the system, it is a large part. Providing the very education YA strives to achieve, children develop a profound respect and interest in a system availing our children with an opportunity to achieve their dreams. YA is effectively developing the next generation of entrepreneurs; something this country desperately needs to continue its global status.”

Currently, Chisholm serves as Branch Manager and Vice President at JPMorgan Chase & Co., and he is passionate about supporting his community by serving on the Young Americans Center for Financial Education Board. “Growing up in a third-world country, then coming to America for my education at a young age, financial literacy was extremely important to me,” notes Chisholm. “Involvement in my community has always been a part of my household, and it’s something I’ve shared with my sons.”

Hill may be the newest member of the Young Americans Bank Board, but he is certainly not new to banking. With more than 25 years in the industry, Hill currently serves as Chief Financial Officer at Bankers’ Bank of the West where he oversees financial reporting, liquidity and funding, and information security and technology. Hill’s experience has fueled his passion for financial education because, “Financial decisions impact everyone daily regardless of your age, background, or profession. The benefit of providing education earlier in the life of a young person’s life that may not otherwise have access to financial education is incalculable and promotes greater economic inclusivity.”
