2009 Fortunate 500 Top Picks: Business
The Top Picks for the 2009 Fortunate 500 list of socially active area citizens were published in Glossy today. In Out & About, we’ll mete out those Top Picks over the next four days. Then, beginning Tuesday, we’ll release the full lists and galleries.
Top picks: Mary Herr Tally and Rusty Tally
Finance has trumped headlines for a year or so. So why not choose a financial expert — reputation intact — to represent the Fortunate 500 Business category? Besides thriving, the USB Financial Services wealth advisor (Rusty Tally), along with the nonprofit fundraiser (Mary Herr Tally), have thrown themselves into countless causes. They don’t just write checks. They serve on boards and organize some of the city’s most scintillating events. Along the way, Rusty also helps the financially illiterate understand the economic crisis facing the nation. A partial list of their causes: American Lung Association, Zach Theatre, MHMR New Milestones Capital Campaign, Austin Symphony Orchestra, Austin Lyric Opera, Sunshine Camp, Center for Child Protection, Texas Heritage Songwriters Association, St. David’s Healthcare and Pets Alive, Rise School of Austin.

I live in the same building with the Talleys and they are truly wonderful, kind, generous, and caring people. Completely altruistic. They help me out regularly, because they can. I am lucky to have them as neighbors.
