ATA makes a change

The Austin Tech Alliance announced the departure of founding executive director David Edmonson yesterday and has launched a search to fill the position. Edmonson will remain in the role until Nov. 23, when ATA program manager Sarah Ortiz Shields will serve as interim director. In a press release about the change, ATA co-founder Dan Graham said, “We’re thankful for David’s dedication and energy, and we know we’ll find an executive director who will continue to drive ATA’s growth and impact. … Dynamic candidates who are excited to lead a growing nonprofit that sits at the intersection of tech, policy and civic engagement should reach out and apply.” More information on the executive director position is available here.
