She was commander of logistics operations units for the U.S. Army's largest and most powerful military formations, including the 1st Cavalry Division and 13th Corps Support Command. Borah retired in 1997,
and in 2010 she was honored with "Distinguished Military Retiree" for Texas for her contributions to both active duty and retired service members and their families.
Borah was first elected Texas National Committeewoman in 2009. She also holds a gubernatorial appointment to the Texas State Cemetery Committee, and serves on the Executive Committee of Maggie's List, a Political Action Committee dedicated to recruiting, training and electing women at the federal level.

Borah has applied her considerable leadership and teaching skills to campaign management seminars for the National Federation of Republican Women (NFRW) and TFRW. During the 77th Texas Legislature session, she served as Chief of Staff for State Representative Kent Grusendorf, (R-Dist. 94). Borah contributes significant amounts of her time and talent to the Republican Party of Texas with fundraising and grassroots organization.
