Lucy Billingsley

Lucy Billingsley is known within Grameen Foundation circles for her enthusiasm for microfinance as a business solution to poverty, and her energetic involvement in Chiapas Mexico.  Her Grameen Foundation connection is one that we hope to replicate.

In just five months, she used her enormous business skills and relationships to raise more than half a million dollars for the AlSol initiative, specifically to finance loans for her Chiapas sisters.  She has set in place a staff and a working group of Dallas women who are poised to launch nationwide her "businesswomen defeating poverty with business solutions" concept.  She has also secured a $100,000 grant for Grameen Foundation from the Hillcrest Foundation to benefit the PLAN Fund and make the Chiapas Project a national program.  Lucy now serves on Grameen Foundation's Development Committee.

Lucy has more than 25 years of experience in real estate with expertise in development and property management.  She is very active in industry and civic organizations.
