40 Stories in 40 Days: Day 2

St. David’s Foundation has a long history of partnership with Leadership Austin. As presenting sponsor of the Emerge program, the Foundation impacts 55 new leaders in our region every year. Leadership Austin could not provide consistently high-quality programming without the support of leaders like
St. David’s Foundation. We are grateful for their continued generosity.

Becky Pastner, Chief Impact and Metrics Officer at St. David’s Foundation, is a member of the current Essential cohort (Class 41 – 2020). On behalf of the Foundation, she shared the following message of congratulations for the 40th Anniversary of Leadership Austin.

“Happy Birthday, Leadership Austin! I am thrilled to be part of the Essential cohort this year (which is rumored to actually be the Best Class Ever), supported by my employer,
St. David’s Foundation. The Foundation has proudly partnered with Leadership Austin over the years to build the leadership skills and networks of our staff, to launch the Leadership Austin Fellows program (matching recent retirees with nonprofits that can benefit from their skills), to sponsor nonprofit staff to attend the Beyond Diversity seminar, and so much more.

“Thank you for shining the light on important issues affecting our community, and for seeing the power in bringing together diverse voices to develop solutions.

“In celebration of all you’ve done, and will continue to do.”
