SUMMARY:Emerge & Essential Accelerator at Leadership Austin
DESCRIPTION:Ready to put your best foot forward? The Application Accelerator is a hands-on session designed to help you strengthen your Leadership Austin application – whether you’re applying to Emerge or Essential. Bring a draft (or just get started)\, and we’ll guide you in clearly showcasing your strengths and story. No interviews – just a thoughtful application that reflects who you are. You’ll work alongside coaches (alumni and staff) who are there to support you – not evaluate you – and are not part of the selection process. Walk away with more confidence\, more clarity\, and a stronger application. \nLearn more: Leadership Austin Application Hub

SUMMARY:Naturalists at the Ney: Saving Water in Urban Landscapes
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the third Naturalists at the Ney series with a discussion about water conservation. \n\n\n\n\nCory Ames\, a Texas-based storyteller and educator exploring how cities and landscapes function together\, looks at how urban homes and neighborhoods can better capture\, slow\, and reuse rainwater—right where it falls. Drawing from hands-on projects across Central Texas\, this talk covers practical approaches to harvesting roof\, yard\, driveway\, and street runoff to reduce flooding\, support healthier landscapes\, and build long-term water resilience. Attendees will leave with simple\, actionable ways to see stormwater as an asset and work with their site’s natural flow instead of against it. \nGet your free ticket here.
