DALLAS, March 1, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (Bank) is pleased to announce that the 2011 Advisory Council (Council) has elected Jane Provo as chairman and Philip Eide as vice chairman effective February 16, 2011.

The Council is comprised of 14 volunteer representatives from state, community, and nonprofit organizations who advise the Bank's Board of Directors on affordable housing and economic development issues. Ms. Provo and Mr. Eide will lead the Council in its efforts to address the affordable housing and economic development needs across the Bank's five-state District of Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, and Texas.

Ms. Provo is serving her third, second consecutive, term as a member of the Council, and was elected vice chairman in 2009. She is the founding executive director of the Denton Affordable Housing Corporation in Denton, Texas, where for the past 16 years she has led the nonprofit organization in its mission to increase the number of affordable housing units for low-income families and people with special needs. Since the corporation's inception, Ms. Provo has secured financing, designed and overseen the development of single- and multi-family housing projects, while continuing to build the corporation's asset base.

Ms. Provo welcomes the opportunity to lead the Council and believes her experience in affordable housing and community lending will be a valuable asset in her new role as chairman.

Mr. Eide is serving his third consecutive term on the Council. He is the senior vice president for housing and economic development at the Hope Enterprise Corporation (HOPE) in Jackson, Mississippi.

Through its resources, HOPE strives to build assets that improve the lives of individuals and families living in economically distressed areas of Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi.

Mr. Eide is responsible for managing housing and economic development opportunities for HOPE. His involvement over the years in the housing and economic development industry has provided him with many contacts in the lending community, and with the opportunity to work with various community groups and elected officials. He looks forward to drawing upon his broad-based experience to help lead the Council.
