Ted Borcherding

Senior District Executive, Victory District, Alamo Area Council, Boy Scouts of America

Ted Borcherding is a native San Antonion.  He is a graduate of Jefferson High School and has a BBA from UTSA. After college, Ted had an 18-year career in hotel management and sales and was employed by the Hyatt, Hilton and Holiday Inn Corporations in Texas and Louisiana and earned numerous awards and honors.

As a young father, Ted volunteered to be the Scout leader for his two sons and was soon “bitten by the bug” as they say, and quickly moved up the volunteer ranks of Scouting both in Louisiana and here in San Antonio. After 9/11 Ted left the hotel business and went to work as a professional Scouter for the Alamo Area Council and has been there ever since.

Alyssa Burgin

Texas Drought Project, Founder

“Ending the Hydro-Illogical Cycle in Texas”

Learn how precious our water resources are in Central/South Texas.  Alyssa Burgin is a fifth-generation Texan and a fourth-generation San Antonian.. She grew up in the world of ideas, and became active in politics at a very early age. Although she began her education at the UT at Austin as a double major in physics and microbiology, she graduated with masters degrees in journalism and speech communication, and went to work on the national level in political media. For the last eight years, she has served as media and outreach director of the statewide nonprofit Texans for Peace, and as such, has handled international media for two Iraq-based kidnapping crises. Two years ago, she took up issues related to the environment, and as a response to problems she saw developing in Texas and the southwest, founded the Texas Drought Project, which educates on current and coming water scarcity in this ever-growing state.
