Join YWA and YWAF on September 25th from 6-7:30 pm for our annual Fundraising Skills Session to get your questions answered, tools, and tips for our upcoming Foundation Fundraising Campaign. Dr. Matthew Hinsely, Executive Director of the Austin Classical Guitar Society, will be our guest speaker and will provide insight to his fundraising success.

As Executive Director of the Austin Classical Guitar Society, Dr. Hinsley has raised well beyond $1,500,000 in support of broad concert, outreach and educational programming.  He was a lead author in the ACGS’ curriculum that serves thousands of young students throughout North America, and founded the ACGS performance outreach program. Dr. Hinsley was the 2015 Austin Under 40 Winner in the Arts, Sports, Media & Entertainment category for his contributions to the Austin community.

At JLL Plaza, you may park in the circle drive out front, under the building in the visitor parking, or in the parking lot behind the apartment building (along the train tracks). We look forward to seeing you there!

Young Women’s Alliance has been invited to join Austin Young Chamber at the UT Club for their networking event: Let’s Talk! YWA will have 20 spots available free of charge, so sign up and get your tickets today!

Interested in learning how your peers are advancing their careers in this competitive job market? Have a strong opinion about the best Austin BBQ joint? Join AYC and Young Women’s Alliance for “Let’s Talk”, a signature networking event where rather than simply trading business cards, we’ll engage in round table conversations spanning a wide range of different topics guaranteed to spark interests. Not only will you meet new people in the Austin community, but make stronger, more personal connections in your effort to build valuable, long-lasting relationships. We’ll also be joined by members of the UT Club, which will also provide a perfect opportunity to cross-network with another local membership base.

5:30pm-5:55pm – Check-In & Refreshments
6:00pm -7:00pm – Round-Table Networking & Topical Discussions (facilitated by table host)

“Let’s Talk” will be hosted by the University of Texas Club, which includes complimentary light bites and one drink ticket (beer and wine).

Parking in the Manor Garage adjacent to the stadium is available for $3/hour.

We hope to see you there!
