“The BDC has been a part of our plan from the beginning,” says Scott Booker, CEO of ACM@UCO. “Through it, we’ll address the next phase for the artist after graduation — getting a job or a record deal — by fostering the network and resources they need to succeed.”

The board includes Booker, Derek Brown, Jonathan Fowler, Chip Fudge, David Holt, Steve Kerr, Robin Roberts- Krieger, Richard Ogden, Cindy Scarberry, Justin Sowers and W. Roger Webb. Susan Wortham will serve as a nonvoting facilitator of the board.
