Scott Marks has lived all over the United States, from Connecticut to Arizona and Texas. He first became interested in government during high school, when he was paid to put up campaign signs, an interest that has grown ever since. Scott earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Sam Houston State University and is now pursuing a master’s degree in legislative affairs from George Washington University.
Scott is currently an Assistant Vice President of Congressional Relations with the Independent Community Bankers of America, where he enjoys helping members understand Capitol Hill and adding insight around what new legislation could mean for them. Prior to joining ICBA, Scott worked as the Government Relations Manager for the Transportation Intermediaries Association, and has also been an advocate for the Fraternal Order of Police.
“With the Bryce Harlow Foundation, like-minded folks can come together to enjoy lobbying in the ‘right’ way, pursuing a higher level of ethics and accountability,” Scott said. “I’m proud to be a part of this community of government relations professionals working with integrity.” In his spare time, Scott is still trying to find the best Texas BBQ in Washington DC.
