AUTMHQ UPDATE

Hola and Hello!

In 2021, Austin Urban Technology Movement launched a new corporate logo and social network handles due to its rapid growth. We determined that it was important to represent the expansion and projected vision on our corporate image. We also aimed to distinguish ourselves from unaffiliated organizations with the same "AUTM" acronym, therefore, we decided to include "HQ" to AUTMHQ. You can learn more here. AUTMHQ's logo represents the unity and solidarity that our supporters are providing, as well as a bolder rendition that reflects the growing Global Majority. We want more members of underserved communities to be able to easily identify our non-profit organization to request the help and support they need. As you are aware, we are working to make the technology industry a more diverse ecosystem. We are achieving our mission by collaborating with employers, organizations, institutions, and government entities to provide Black and Hispanic communities with the tools they need to enter and thrive in the technology industry, radically changing their income and find better career opportunities. You can help us change lives by j oining the AUTMHQ movement, engaging with us on social media, volunteering to support our communities, making donations, getting involved, and making sure to include "HQ" when referring to AUTMHQ! Join our mission and make your days extraordinary!

Paty Sesma Vice president of Marketing and Communications at AUTMHQ
