July 26, 2022

Rick FrancisTexas Governor Greg Abbott has announced the appointment of L. Frederick “Rick” Francis, executive chairman of El Paso-based WestStar Bank, to the board of directors of the Texas Economic Development Corp. (TxEDC).

“With the board and our partners, I look forward to continuing to expand Texas’ status as the premier state in the nation to do business,” Francis says.
