Kipp Flores Architects supports ATXelerator™
Corporate citizenship is important at Kipp Flores. Engaging with the civic process – both listening and being heard – is the first step. The Center for Austin’s Future helps us do both. CAF engages city policy by educating voters and recruiting leaders, through ATXelerator™.
Like a tech accelerator, think of ATXelerator™ as a civic accelerator. This non-profit recruits and nurtures candidates who share a future-focused city vision. Their annual competition pairs mentors with civic-minded individuals to help craft their platform. Imagine the impact of engaging directly within boards, commissions, and city council. Don’t take our word for it. Here’s what you may have heard:
