🧗🏾♀️CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS 🫶🏾 female volunteers needed to help us shape this group, ensuring all builders are welcome 👐🏽 Perfect for an introvert, needs include ensuring guest speakers & community members are comfortable & that we offer appropriately diverse topics 👐🏽 Leslie Knope also welcome 👩🏼
----
We aim to democratize this group with open Monday night planning calls where all of our community has a voice to influence what type of topics, speakers, and venues we discuss.
Recurring Goals: Schedule 3 virtual or hybrid meetups (90 days out aka 6 months scheduled) for both Spanish and English speakers, featuring at least one female keynote speaker per event. Confirm speakers are booked. Host or co-host at least 3 community days a year to include TX community day (likely Austin in 2026), Santa Fe each August, and El Paso each December. Support local college students and student leaders who would like to start an AWS Cloud Club with their friends. Support anyone looking for an opportunity to change the world around them using technology, and cheer for them while they shine.
Offer your feedback, desires and opinions as we plan our 2026 event calendar building a regional technology community helping each other up-skill, better our careers, run successful businesses, and use the superpowers of cloud computing and artificial intelligence for good.
And have fun! Eating pizza, watching tv, and talking technology together sounds like a great use of time to us 🤩
