LuAnn Morgan

MHC FOUNDER

LuAnn Morgan, of Midland, is retired after over 40 years of service in the electric utility industry and volunteering for nonprofits. She began her career with TXU Electric, eventually becoming District Manager serving 11 West Texas Counties. 

Upon early retirement, she became an adjunct instructor at The University of Texas Permian Basin (UTPB) in Statistics and Marketing, served three terms on Midland City Council, and served as a past gubernatorial appointee of the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. She has served as president and campaign chair of United Way of Midland, Chair of Economic Development for the Midland Chamber of Commerce, Finance for Boy Scouts of America, Senior Services Chair and Rotary International Exchange Program Chair.

She is a Leadership Texas graduate and co-founding member of two nonprofits, Midland Humane Coalition and Communities in Schools of the Permian Basin.

​Morgan received a Bachelor of Science from Texas Tech University and a Master of Business Administration from UTPB.

LuAnn Morgan is passionate about getting homeless cats & dogs in Midland the help they need and making sure they end up safely in loving homes. When she was a member of the City council, she had great concerns about Midland's high euthanasia rate. She got the City spay/neuter voucher program approved.  The number of cats & dogs running loose around the City also concerned her -- she and Susie Hitchcock-Hall (another MHC founder) were picking up strays all over the place!  The two of them, together with Paul O'Neill who was director at Midland Animal Shelter at the time, decided to come up with a solution. With LuAnn as one of the driving forces, Midland Humane Coalition opened its doors to animals in need in November 2011. 

LuAnn's love for animals is evident in the way she treats her dogs -- like royalty. In fact, she was one of the first to adopt a rescue dog from the MHC Adoption Center in 2011! ​
