Meet the Team

Founder & Executive Director
William Meade
Bill Meade is a Baby Boomer who has decided in the time he has left on this earth he wants to work to ensure every American has a living wage. Bill has worked as a union member as a power plant maintenance mechanic after high school and then made it all the way to the board room as Chief Executive Officer of a NYSE publicly traded business process outsourcing company. In his corporate positions Bill has seen firsthand and believes we have lost our humanity as both our corporations and government have put profits over people. With your help Bill believes we can build a national grassroots organization that will lay the foundation for the transition back to people over profits.
