Tech Town Hall with Council Member Leslie Pool

Austin Tech Alliance is hosting its first #TechTownHall with Austin City Council Member Leslie Pool.

During our conversation with Council Member Pool, who represents District 7 in north Austin, we’ll discuss how City Council works, her priorities for the city, and how Austin’s tech community can best engage on neighborhood and policy issues.
