During her tenure as Chairman, she oversaw the development of the Land and Water Resources Conservation and Recreation Plan, a strategic plan that will guide TPWD’s conservation efforts over the next decade.

Previously, Katharine worked for Senator John Tower and in the Nixon White House before joining Smith Barney, Harris, Upham & Company in 1976. Starting her career at Smith Barney as an account executive in Dallas, Katharine became a Vice-President in the Municipal Finance Department in New York.
