[vc_column_text]AUSTIN, Texas<\/strong> \u2014 After almost five years leading an organization that provides programs and resources to support the largest and most diverse generation in the U.S. Labor Workforce, Alyssia Palacios-Woods has announced her departure from the Austin Young Chamber.<\/p>\n

Palacios-Woods will take on a new role as Executive Director of Capital IDEA<\/a>, a Central Texas non-profit organization dedicated to lifting working adults out of poverty and into living wage careers through education.<\/p>\n

The Young Chamber Board of Directors is currently searching for a replacement<\/a>. Palacios-Woods\u2019 last day on the job is June 3, 2022.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has truly been my honor to lead such an incredible organization,\u201d said Palacios-Woods. \u201cKnowing firsthand the talent, commitment, and innovation of our young professionals, it\u2019s clear that the future of Central Texas business is bright.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Austin Young Chamber represents a membership base of over 850 young professionals and a network of over 30,000 in Central Texas. The Young Chamber offers programs to support business and career growth, fosters partnerships and collaborations for regional impact, and represents the voice of young professionals in policy.<\/p>\n

Palacios-Woods is most proud to have put in place programs that offer expanded support to young entrepreneurs and spearhead the first full-day conference for young professionals in Central Texas.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlyssia has been a phenomenal CEO for the Austin Young Chamber, and she will be greatly missed. Under her leadership, the organization has grown more than 30%, launched the premier young professional educational conference LEAD Summit<\/a>, and provided over $200,000 cash & in-kind support to 22\u00a0local startups through our pitch contests Austin Fast Start,<\/a>\u00a0[RE]verse Pitch<\/a>, and the Circular Austin Showcase. Alyssia\u2019s impact on the Austin community and the Young Chamber will be felt for decades to come\u201d said Adam Steele, Austin Young Chamber Board Chair.<\/p>\n

Palacios-Woods has a background in non-profit leadership and fundraising. She started as president and CEO of the Young Chamber in October 2017.<\/p>\n
