This season at the Engage Speaker Series, we discussed our vision for the community: from leadership turnover to change in the political climate; from emerging economies to affordable housing. But how can you make an impact right here in Central Texas? The May Engage breakfast was a special discussion on getting involved. It explored options for community engagement with leaders from some Austin non-profit organizations, and allowed participants to make plans to help Austin become a stronger community.
