The National Hispanic Cultural Center Foundation (NHCCF) and the National Hispanic Cultural Center (NHCC) are excited to announce the selection of Anna Villareal Sanchez to serve as the new NHCC Foundation Director.

“We were really excited by the caliber of candidates interested in this position, and focused our efforts on ensuring a rigorous and transparent selection process that included 15 members of the NHCC Foundation and NHCC staff and Boards. On paper and in person, Anna really impressed all of the interview panelists with her experience and passion,” NHCC Foundation Board Chairman Adrian Perez said.

“Anna’s experience in fundraising and community engagement, combined with her strong belief in the Hispanic community and her passion for the preservation and sharing of Hispanic culture make her an absolute perfect fit for this position. We are so excited to welcome her to the NHCC family,” NHCC Executive Director Rebecca Avitia said. 

 “Anna is a dynamic young woman and, as a founder and the current Interim NHCC Foundation Director, I am confident that the Foundation is being put in the best of hands,” Lujan said.
