The Winthrop Rockefeller Foundation highlighted the work of Southern Bancorp, Inc. CEO Darrin Williams as part of their Forty Years Forty Leaders For Arkansas series. The videos highlight impact-oriented leaders in Arkansas who increase prosperity, encourage educational attainment, strengthen communities and build the state's nonprofit infrastructure. "So many of the communities that we serve have been abandoned by traditional financial institutions as big banks consolidate and leave small towns and as small banks are burdened by regulatory pressures... Southern wants to fill that void," Williams said. "We want to be the bank for all of America. We want to be the bank in the Delta that will provide responsible and responsive capital to our communities."
