We are thrilled to announce the re-launch of the Culture First Austin Chapter! After some time of inactivity, we are back with three new chapter leads eager to bring fresh energy to our local community! 🎉

This 90-minute in-person gathering is your chance to meet our new chapter leads, reconnect with fellow community members, and explore what the Culture First community is all about. Whether you’ve been involved before or are joining for the first time, this evening will be engaging, interactive, and full of meaningful connections. This event is graciously being hosted at the Serenity Kids HQ (📍 5524 W Hwy 290 Service Rd. Austin, TX 78735). 

Here’s what you can expect:

• A warm welcome and introduction to the Culture First community, which spans over 100 global chapters in 20+ countries and includes more than 17k members who believe in creating a better world of work.
• Light food and beverages as we get to know one another.
• Thought-provoking discussions using Esther Perel’s "Where Should We Begin" cards, diving into what it means to build a better world of work and what matters most to you.
• An opportunity to shape the future of the Austin Chapter—what kind of events you’d like to see, how often you’d like to gather, and how we can support each other on this journey.
• A chance to meet and be inspired by your new Austin Chapter leads

• Special guest Jessie Jacob, Community Manager for the Culture First chapter program, will be there to connect and share more about how this global community is making an impact.

• Anu Mandapati  – CEO at QULTURED (LinkedIn) 
• Brooke Ehlinger – Culture and Office Coordinator at Serenity Kids (LinkedIn)
• Alyson Kirchner – SVP of Schools, Marketing & Engagement at Dairy Management Inc. (LinkedIn) 

This community is not just for HR or People Ops professionals, and it’s not limited to Culture Amp customers. It’s for anyone who believes in the mission of creating a better world of work so feel free to bring along a friend or colleague.

Lastly, we’d also love your input! To help us better understand the needs of the Austin chapter members, we’ve created a brief survey that will take less than 5-8 minutes to complete. Your feedback will help us identify the most important aspects of our chapter culture and guide how we build this community together.
