Are we ready to start the countdown?
AUTMHQ UPDATES Hola and Hello!
I'm going to start this letter by revealing a little secret about myself that only Clifford Dukes, our COO, is aware of: I'm a Christmas addict.???? I listen to Christmas music all year and often watch Christmas movies even during the Spring. So imagine my joy at being able to announce today the official countdown to 12 Days of AUTMHQ!
Austin Urban Technology Movement (AUTMHQ) is proudly hosting this event for the third time. 12 Days of AUTMHQ is an opportunity to gather with our community, with our AUTMites, volunteers, partners, and staff, and not only learn about the accomplishments and goals we have reached and plan to achieve, but also to share fantastic moments and have a lot of fun!
Furthermore, now is an excellent time to reflect on our accomplishments and future plans. Through 12 Days of AUTMHQ you'll be able to learn about all of the opportunities that AUTMHQ offers to help you pursue a career in tech and significantly increase your salary. This is real! Read some of our AUTMites' stories about how working with us has changed their lives.
So, get ready to meet our team, volunteers, and partners, and most importantly, to have a wonderful Holiday season with AUTMHQ!
