Texas Water Foundation

Some of the TWF team stopped by Rudy’s in Austin to grab the signature This is Texas Water cup. For the month of July while supplies last, participating locations across the state are distributing these one of a kind water cups.

Building trust is the foundation of being a leader. Last week, Texas Water Leaders learned this first-hand during their second session.

Working in pairs, they participated in a leadership simulation exercise that provided practice on how to motivate employees and communicate effectively to a range of audiences. While every water leader did a great job priming their skills, Isabel Keddy-Hector, Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and Marvin Cole-Chaney, Texas Water Development Board took first place in the 2026 TWL Management Challenge.

Thank you to Abilitie for facilitating this session and providing valuable insights to our water leaders.
