Collaboration for the success of Austin means all the different non-profits working together for the common good of the community.  The team at Austin Women in Technology has been a great friend to the Austin Technology Council, and we work together to help promote both organizations.   In this week's episode, Thom Singer sits down with Heather Trumpfheller and Emily Gupton from AWT to hear about all they do to serve the Austin community.
