Alexis Adauto Ferguson made a name for herself early, becoming president of Austin Advertising Federation at 26, and has taken on leadership roles ever since. “I have a keen talent of being able to translate between creatives and clients – keeping the art alive while keeping the client’s objective front and center. Stickler for deadlines and love to “make it happen”.  Have learned from the best of the best and continue to seek out opportunities that add to my knowledge base,”  Alexis describes her journey.  A 21 year advertising executive veteran by the age of 41, she left the fast-paced world of advertising to reinvent herself and define her true purpose.

Now, she helps other women (and men) chase the dream of entrepreneurship through her direct selling venture with Rodan + Fields.   Alexis is an executive consultant with Rodan + Fields Dermatologists – a clinical skin care line from the doctors who created ProActiv Solution, the world’s most successful skin care line. What the doctors did for acne, they are now doing for anti-aging. She is a pioneer in the Texas market and excited that she has partnered with the two most trusted names in dermatology in the business that will be their legacy.

She also puts her passion to work as a board member of the Hispanic Women’s Network of Texas – Austin Chapter and a volunteer with Con Mi Madre . Both organizations align with her mission of empowering women of all ages to be their best selves. “Giving my free time to making a difference in the community by volunteering for organizations focused on helping Hispanic girls with higher education.”

Since adopting two amazing little boys, she feels like her best self when she’s spending time in her biggest leadership role yet – Mom.

Northwest Austin Coalition is an active group welcoming anyone living or working in NW Austin that considers themselves a community leader in their neighborhood, business, church, or other community organization. The Coalition’s mission is to support leaders in Northwest Austin and address the needs in the communities through collaboration, communication, and education. A speaker discusses a specific topic each month in addition to core issue areas of transportation, wildfires/water, affordability, public safety, and zoning and land use. The group amended their focus to also include Zoning and Land Use and Government Affairs.

The Coalition defines Northwest Austin as the parts of Austin west of MoPac (Loop 1) and north of 2222 also including any neighborhood or community south of and adjacent to 2222.  This includes most of the Northwest hills and the Arboretum up to Lakeline Mall and Avery Ranch.

The Coalition was formed in July 2013 after a series of meetings with neighborhood leaders in Northwest Austin.  Those initial meetings included leaders from Anderson Mill, Millwood, Angus Valley, Northwest Austin Civic Assoc., Great Hills, and Southwest Williamson County. Collaborating with friends from North Austin (NACN), the leaders decided to expand the meetings to include community leaders from all different types of groups.  The first meeting of this newly-expanded coalition was August 5th, 2013.
