LCRA board names first female general manager
Becky Motal has just been named the first female to become general manager of the Lower Colorado River Authority in its 76-year history.
Motal, executive manager of external affairs, was chosen by a unanimous vote of the LCRA board of directors and assumes the helm of the energy and water management agency effective July 2. She replaces Tom Mason who is resigning July 1.
The news ends speculation that Ken Armbrister, the former Texas senator and current legislative director for Gov. Rick Perry, would be chosen for the job.
We don’t know much about Ms. Motal, but will post more as we learn more about her history.
