Ellen Hughes
President
Fort Bend MUD 23
Ellen currently serves as the President of the AWBD Board of Directors and is also the Chair of the AWBD Strategic Planning Committee and an active participant on the Membership, Office Relations and Conferences Subcommittees. Ellen currently works as Office Manager and Business Development Coordinator for a Civil Engineering firm in Houston.
Ellen is a proud Aggie who received a Bachelor of Speech Communication in 1989 followed by a Master of Public Administration in 1991. Introduction to MUD’s came with her first job after graduation working at the City of Sugar Land, which experienced tremendous growth through ETJ MUD annexation. Little did she know that the purchase of her home in Fort Bend County MUD 23 in 1993 would eventually lead to the start of service as a resident Board Director lasting over 25 years. During that time MUD 23 has grown from less than 500 homes to greater than 4500. Ellen’s early career at Sugar Land coupled with service as a Director has given her a unique perspective and deep passion for the importance of MUD’s in the growth of communities in the State of Texas.
