Read moreWITH APPRECIATION FOR LEADERSHIP AUSTIN...ON ITS 40TH ANNIVERSARY
Leadership Austin is celebrating its 40th anniversary and it has much to celebrate. The program, initially sponsored by the Greater Austin Chamber of Commerce, has identified, trained and placed hundreds of well-trained and motivated “community trustees” throughout the community. The expanding alumni base can be found in prominent leadership positions in Austin government, non-profits, business and education. As an alum myself, I can attest to the importance of the program in nurturing a leadership base that can leverage many constructive resources.

Read more"ART" IS WHERE WE FIND IT...BY PAUSING, NOTICING, ENGAGING, REFLECTING...
“Art” is where we find it, both inside and outside of our galleries and museums. Both Picasso and my friend Darden Smith have salient observations as we better engage the beauty around us. We just have to learn to pause, engage, notice and reflect. The rewards are immeasurable…often soul deep. Take a few minutes to notice these personal photographs, then consider how you can better curate your own life experiences. LET’S MOSEY!
