The Austin Social Sector Consultants is a peer network for consultants in Central Texas to foster a stronger and more vibrant and resilient social sector. In fact, creating that purposeful peer network is our mission. Recently, we have added a bit more structure to our organization and offerings. Because we are one hundred percent volunteer-run by consultants who serve the social sector and we charge no monetary dues, the robustness of our offerings is dependent on the contributions of time, expertise, and participation by our members. We hope that if you choose to join us, you will also be willing to pay your dues, per se, via your participation. Our offerings include (or will include as some are still in development):
CONNECT
- Interactive quarterly meetings
- Regular networking chats to strengthen relationships
- Online discussion board and directory for sharing business development and referral opportunities COACH
- Peer learning approaches are embedded in regular meetings so members can leave meetings addressing their current challenges
- Mentorship opportunities/buddy program for new consultants
- Small learning communities focused on specific professional development topics COLLABORATE
- Opportunities for member-led projects and initiatives
- Consultation opportunities with social sector organizations
- Develop partnership opportunities with aligned networks Our target membership is consultants working independently or in organizations providing support to social impact organizations and initiatives in Central Texas.
