Jennifer Butler becomes chair of president's advisory council on poverty
Jennifer Butler, CEO of the strategy group Faith in Public Life, recently became chair of the President’s Advisory Council on Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships.
“One of the key issues we’re looking at is criminal justice reform,” Butler said of the council’s meetings with her as chair. “We also talked about rural poverty, which gets left out of a lot of conversations.”
Other members of the council include researchers and leaders of denominations, religious groups, and secular organizations working on issues of poverty and inequality.
