The Chronicle of Philanthropy included Dominik Mjartan, CEO of Southern Bancorp Community Partners and a member of CDBA’s Board of Directors in its inaugural 40 Under 40 List. The list includes young philanthropic leaders, economic developers, social advocates and visionaries who are crafting innovative new approaches to entrenched problems. Mjartan stressed the importance of an evidence-based approach to supporting development in the Mississippi Delta. "We’ve seen a lot of community-level progress," says Mr. Mjartan. "But then the question came, ‘Are we making sure that the right folks, those who really, truly lack economic opportunities, are also benefiting, that we’re not leaving them out?’ "
