HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Guiding the direction and work of the GAACC takes a lot of talent. Our Advisory Board and Ambassadors bring that talent and mix it with dedication, experience, and leadership to grow our community’s impact across Central Texas and the globe.
The GAACC Advisory Board meets once or twice each year in a social setting to discuss the Chamber’s work and goals. Advisory Board members and Ambassadors are selected from among the most dynamic and talented civic and business leaders across Greater Austin. They support the Chamber’s work by helping to create connections, providing expert advice, and ensuring a diverse community of voices is part of every critical conversation.
