Skillpoint Alliance will host the 9th Annual Partner Recognition Luncheon on Tuesday, September 20, with title sponsor: Greater Austin Chamber. The event celebrates Skillpoint's accomplishments throughout the year and honors employers, partners, and volunteers who made our success possible.

Featuring personal stories from our students and teachers and introducing our signature Working Edge award—the Wedgie, the luncheon promises to be full of fun, laughter, and sincere appreciation. The master of ceremonies, Margo Dover, will present an overview on our events and programs and a sneak peak into the future of Skillpoint Alliance. Kirk Watson, Danny Baker of Fox 7, and John Fitzpatrick an AISD Board of Director, are three of the seven honorees that will be recognized.
