A ninth-generation Arkansan, French Hill has served central Arkansas since January 3, 2015, in the U.S. House of Representatives, where he is the Majority Whip on the Committee on Financial Services. Congressman Hill also served as Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Corporate Finance under President George H. W. Bush from 1989 until 1991. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, Mr. Hill led the design of U.S. technical assistance to the emerging economies of eastern and central Europe in the areas of banking and securities. From 1982 until 1984, he served on the staff of U.S. Senator John Tower (R-TX), as well as on the staff of the U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs. He is a long-term member of the TRA and is currently a member of the TRA Advisory Board. Over the years he has developed such an in-depth knowledge of TR that he can often answer questions that other scholars cannot. For example, he was the only person who could prove that TR had ever been on Theodore Roosevelt Island. A magna cum laude graduate in Economics from Vanderbilt University, he is married to the former Martha McKenzie of Dallas, Texas, and they have a daughter, Sarah Elizabeth McKenzie Hill, and a son, William Payne Hill. The Hill family resides in Little Rock.

The National War College (NWC), National Defense University (NDU), Department of State (DoS), and Department of Defense (DoD) do not endorse the TRA or its activities. Allowing members of the TRA to participate in the academic symposium to be held at NWC does not constitute an endorsement of the TRA by the DoD, NDU, DoS, or the NWC. The TRA is not charging for the privilege of entering Fort McNair or Roosevelt Hall for the purpose of attending events held at NWC.
