Katherine also serves as the inaugural chair of the Texas Hill Country Conservation Network, a coalition of more than 75 nonprofits and academic institutions utilizing a collective impact approach to scale conservation in the region. Together the Network has leveraged more than $115 million in new or increased investment in conservation across the 17 county region.

    About the Hill Country Alliance:

    The Hill Country Alliance (HCA) was founded in 2004 by a group of neighbors concerned about the quickly accelerating rate of growth in the unincorporated areas of Western Travis County. Since the early living room conversations that inspired the creation of HCA, the organization has grown into a regional nonprofit and thought leader that champions a vision for conservation, growth, and planning that protects the most critical features of the Texas Hill Country for future generations.
