The awards are peer-nominated. Rebecca Young Montgomery has built a career defined by vision, integrity, and impact. As Founder and CEO of Montgomery Strategies, she leads with a belief that good policy should strengthen communities, expand opportunity, and empower people. With over two decades of experience in government relations, coalition building, and strategic communications, Rebecca has become one of Texas’s most trusted advocates for business, education, and workforce development. > “Rebecca has been at the forefront of advocating for policies that strengthen communities and empower businesses,” one nominator shared. “She navigates complex legislative landscapes while building trust across political, business, and nonprofit sectors and she does it all with authenticity and grace.” Another noted her mentorship and advocacy for women in public policy: “She amplifies underrepresented voices and encourages women to step into rooms where decisions are made.” Before founding her firm, Rebecca began her professional life as a pediatric nurse, where seeing families struggle to access care inspired her to pursue advocacy at the Texas Capitol. That experience shaped a lifelong commitment to public service and policy reform. Her work has since contributed to landmark initiatives that drive economic growth, expand education access, and improve the lives of Texas families including helping secure bipartisan support for legislation to make financial literacy a graduation requirement in public schools. As one of this year’s Female Powerhouse of the Year honorees, Rebecca Young Montgomery represents the strength, strategy, and purpose that define Texas’s most inspiring leaders in government affairs.
