About

My name is Deedra Rawls.  I am a wife and mother of 2 and I have lived, worked, and played in Central Texas for more than 40 years (GO CRUSADERS! CLASS OF 2003).  My calling is helping others and with a background in education and business, I believe that a solid relationship built on trust and communication is key. I am committed to growing a full service Real Estate business of my own that exceeds all expectations by leading, with a servant heart, each client thru the home buying/selling experience, creating happy clients who will forever refer to me as “friend”. #ctxhomegirl

As a chamber of commerce president for Rockdale, TX, I planned, organized, directed and controlled the chamber’s services, products, economic development and public policy activities for association’s members and responded to the needs of its members within available and agreed upon financial resources.

I developed and maintained a collaborative working relationship between the Rockdale Chamber of Commerce, and other key business & public policy organizations, other regional chambers and other regional organizations to foster a nurturing business environment for members. I Oversaw the day-to-day operations of the Chamber, including management of programs, membership and marketing efforts.  I worked with the Chairs to prepare agendas and materials for Board and Executive Committee meetings.  I developed goals and objectives for recommendation to the Board and established administrative policies and procedures for office functions.  I served as a principal spokesperson and ambassador for the Chamber and worked with businesses in the Rockdale area on retention and expansion.  I am excited to serve on the Salado board and to be a part of Salado’s ever changing future.
