We invite you to join us as Leadership Austin kicks off our Engage Breakfast Series presented by the Austin Board of REALTORS ® on September 9th! As the city is recognized for its positive qualities on a national scale, we have to ask ourselves if we are living up to the values Austin promotes. We all know that Austin is easy to love, but is it getting harder to live here? This season, Judy Maggio joins the Leadership Austin team to help examine Austin’s conscience; our triumphs and our challenges. The Engage Breakfast brings together decision makers and thought leaders in Austin to look at critical issues in our community. You leave with a better understanding and ways to get involved.

The economy is thriving and more than 100 people move here every day. But is Austin believing too much of its own press?

Public Safety: Training & Cultural Diversity
High profile cases have made Texas a flash-point in the ongoing conversation about potential racial bias in the criminal justice system. Law enforcement agencies across the country are under intense scrutiny as they grapple with use of force issues and the community’s perspective. When it comes to the community, where does public safety stand on racial sensitivity, training and cultural diversity? We’ll talk to the top two law officers in Travis County as we take a close look at public safety in our region.
Our panelists include:
Chief Art Acevedo, Chief of Police, City of Austin
Sheriff Greg Hamilton, Sheriff, Travis County
Shannon Wolfson, Moderator, KXAN
