Leadership Austin is an amazing organization focused on creating community leaders. Laurie Loew is part of the 2012 Essentials Class and it was a great honor to present Heather McKissick, President of Leadership Austin with a donation to the 2013 Scholarship Fund. Pictured on right is Jennifer Wijangco, Leadership Austin’s Development Director.
This scholarship fund would not have been created without the generosity of the Alter-Suri family and them allowing us to divert a portion of their Give Realty donation ($2500) to start the fund.
Social Entrepreneurship is a new and important component of the betterment of our community and world. Supporting the scholarship fund at Leadership Austin is a wonderful way to give social entrepreneurs in our community the opportunity to attend the Essential Program that Leadership Austin provides.
