We are proud to welcome and announce Larry R. Soward as our 2010 Summit Key Note Speaker. Mr. Soward just completed a five year term as Commissioner of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), a position he was appointed to by Gov. Rick Perry on October 17, 2003 and confirmed by the Texas Senate on May 11, 2004. Before holding one of the top spots at the Commission, Mr. Soward served as executive assistant to the Texas lieutenant governor during the 78th Legislative Session and during two special legislative sessions held during 2003. He has more than 29 years of experience leading state agencies, and served as the deputy land commissioner of the Texas General Land Office and Veterans' Land Board, the deputy commissioner of the Texas Department of Agriculture, and the deputy executive director of the Texas Public Utility Commission. In addition, Soward has been executive director of the Texas Water Commission, the culmination of a 12-year tenure at that agency. During his time at the Water Commission, he was its general counsel and chief hearings examiner. He was also appointed by the Governor to serve on the Texas Energy Planning Council in 2004.
