Lisa is a sixth generation Texan, born on the Army base of Ft. Hood in Kileen, Texas, where her father
served as an officer in the Army. Her family has owned a heritage farm in the Leander area since 1854
and Lisa helps manage her family's farm business interests. After Lisa graduated from Georgetown High
School, she went on to attend Texas A&M University, where she graduated with a Bachelor of Science
degree in elementary education. Commissioner Birkman was a public-school teacher for 13 years,
teaching in Granbury,Austin and in Round Rock elementary schools.
After a successful career in education, Lisa decided to run for a seat on the Brushy Creek Municipal Utility
District (MUD) board of directors. She served the residents of the MUD for four years, before deciding to
run for a vacant seat on the Williamson County Commissioners Court. Lisa won the race and was the
first woman elected to serve on the Commissioners Court. She was sworn into office on May 3, 2004,
and represented Precinct 1 and the Round Rock area until December 31, 2016. During her terms, Lisa
held several leadership positions, including serving on the Williamson County Mental Health Task Force,

board of directors. In 2008, Lisa was appointed by Governor Rick Perry to serve on the statewide Texas
Agriculture Financing Authority (TAFA) that provides economic development opportunities to young
farmers in rural areas throughout Texas.
Lisa married Rick Birkman in 1989 and they began the Texas Roofing Company in 1995, whose focus
was commercial roofing in the Austin area. They owned and operated the successful company for twenty-
five years until it was sold in 2020 after Rick's death.
Lisa retired from Williamson County in 2016, to pursue other interests and activities but has remained
passionate about serving her community, including as a commissioner on Emergency Service District#8
Board of Directors from 2020—2022.
Lisa has been a volunteer Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA)for local foster kids since 2014.
