Anna Maria Chávez Biography

Anna Maria Chávez began her career journey in the very same Movement she now leads: Girl Scouts. A lifetime member of Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) and an award-winning community leader, Anna developed the leadership skills growing up as a Girl Scout in Eloy, Arizona that would propel her to the office of the chief executive of GSUSA.

Her experiences in Girl Scouting lit a passion for public service and social engagement that have defined Anna’s educational and career paths. Her desire to make the world a better place led her from her hometown to Yale University, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in American history before pursuing a juris doctorate at the James E. Rogers College of Law at the University of Arizona. She has since been admitted to the Bar of the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona, the Arizona Supreme Court, and the U.S. Supreme Court.

Professionally, Anna’s interest in serving others brought her first to Washington DC, where she held numerous posts in President Clinton’s administration, including senior policy advisor to former U.S. Secretary of Transportation Rodney E. Slater. She later returned to her home state of Arizona to serve as deputy chief of staff for urban relations and community development under then-Governor Janet Napolitano.
