Earlier today, members of last year’s CTDA board hosted the 2025 board for a fun and delicious brunch at Snooze. It was a great time filled with laughter, catching up, and enjoying each other’s company. Just look at all these good SIMaritans together! 😉 🍳 🍓 ☕️

If you didn’t know, the CTDA board is entirely volunteer-based, with all of the amazing work you see being driven by the passion and goodwill of its members. The board is made up of dedicated birth and postpartum doulas in the Austin community, all committed to creating a space where doulas can find support, friendship, opportunities, and more 🩷

We’re incredibly grateful to the 2024 board for their hard work and dedication in keeping the CTDA community thriving, and we’re excited for all the wonderful things the 2025 board has in store! 🙌🏼
