Her Work So Far on The Woodlands Township Board

Current and Future Projects
With the looming 50th anniversary of The Woodlands Township in 2024, along with the completed build-out of both residence and business space, Dr. Sekula-Gibbs sees redevelopment with modern innovation as essential, whilst keeping to Mitchell’s vision a necessity. She notes that business and sales taxes are a big part of that development. “To sustain redevelopment and the favorable hotel and sales taxes, I am working with the board to reinvigorate our world-class amenities, support tourism, expand our convention facilities, and plan for future creation of a performing arts center.”
Her Priorities
Dr. Sekula-Gibbs is an active member of her church, and she and her husband support numerous local charities. “I try to live by the Lord Jesus’ words, ‘Do unto others as you would have them do unto you,’ and to ‘be professional, be charitable, and be persistent.’ I stand for the American flag and I kneel before God. My priorities are God, Family, Country and Community.”
