In 1991, he served as Senior Vice President and Chief Credit Officer of Liberty National Bank, now Wells Fargo Bank of Austin. Shortly thereafter he was Executive Vice President and Chief Lending Officer of Liberty Bank, one of Austin’s largest locally-based full service banks, which was acquired by Prosperity Bank in 2004.

Suzanne Quinn, Secretary

Suzanne’s career has focused on start-up business ventures. Suzanne was on the staff of the SXSW Film Festival to start up their marketing, sales and sponsorship program.

After four years, Ms. Quinn left SXSW to join the staff of the Austin Film Society (AFS) as Studio Director to create Austin Studios, a 20-acre film production facility.

Ms. Quinn was responsible for financial management and reporting, marketing, operations and contract negotiations with productions. Austin Studios was formed through a public/private partnership between the City of Austin and AFS.

He spent 15 years touring the globe with some of the world’s top acts including Alejandro Escovedo, Jon Dee Graham, Charlie Sexton, Storyville, Indigo Girls and many more. His musical travels allowed him to witness first hand the changes in the recording industry: from indie artist on vinyl, to sideman on CD, to the digital revolution, 360 deals, radio tag, and the free-download-song code world we live in today. As most career musicians must, Scott recognized the vulnerability of the freelance lifestyle and in 2000 went to work for Apple, Inc., eventually transitioning into iTunes marketing operations. He is now an international product manager in the billion-dollar iTunes retail group concentrating on Asia Pac. He continues to play and record on a regular basis and still sees many of the opportunities and issues that face musicians trying to stay afloat and creative.
