How will Austin's cultural, social and economic diversity shape our future?

It is a pleasure to inform you that the next edition of Forefront Austin has been released. This month's BIG question: How will Austin's cultural, social and economic diversity shape our future?
"The 2010 U.S. Census documents that Central Texas’ social, cultural and economic fabric is more diverse, varied and nuanced than ever before. Forefront Austin’s perspectives this month tell the stories behind the numbers—the opportunities, the challenges and the potential. Unexamined, diversity could lead too easily to division. Here Forefront Austin partners offer a glimpse into how Central Texans are weaving these distinct populations into unified and forward momentum for our region."
Come on over to Forefront Austin, where you will enjoy excellent feature perspectives on this important question. Family Eldercare's CEO (Angela Atwood) writes about Five Ways Central Texas is Aging with Style. Read about how Asian cultures are making their mark on Austin from the perspective of Sunni Jackson, winner of a student showcase essay from Manor ISD. Get in-the-know on Austin's growing Latin music culture, quickly becoming a larger part of our overall thriving music scene. Or click on this month's Infographic to see Central Texas by the Slice.

Does Kerrville count as central Texas?

I think so Marcus. The quote at the top of the Infographic provides some good material on what makes our area so unique from a geographic standpoint.
