Founding Board of Trustees

ACP is no small undertaking. The following people have come together as the founding Board of Trustees in either an acting or advisory capacity.

The ACP board is a "working" board. Each person brings a unique talent or skill, and together we are building something new and exciting for Austin.

Therefore, the board is dynamic and additional members will be added as time goes on. If you'd like to be considered for the board, contact us. We are looking for individuals who share our vision and who can share their time and know-how to help make ACP happen.
