The Texas Rainmaker Award acknowledges exceptional leaders who are making lasting impacts in Texas water.

There are few Texas champions that have impacted Texas water as much as L’Oreal Stepney. She has served in leadership positions at the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality for nearly three decades and was named Deputy Executive Director in 2020.

Her work has touched everything from Texas’ water quality, to water supply, water rights, and permitting systems. She has served as a Texas representative to national and international partners and has dedicated 22 years to championing the next generation of water leaders as a Board member for the Mickey Leland Environmental Internship Program.

We are proud to recognize L’Oreal, and invite you to join us on September 20 to celebrate her work.
