Anna Escobedo Cabral will have to postpone her legal education here at GMUSL because she will be quite busy signing money. On November 20, 2004, the United States Senate confirmed Anna Escobedo Cabral as Treasurer of the United States.

As the U.S. Treasurer, Cabral will speak to the public about various financial issues, such as deficit reduction and financial literacy. Cabral will also work with Congress to discuss the best ways to improve and reform the Social Security system. Cabral says she looks forward to the work ahead of her as Treasurer.

'I am proud and eager to support President Bush's agenda and work closely with Secretary Snow to help the Administration's economic policies and vision for America take root.'

Prior to her nomination and confirmation as Treasurer, Cabral headed up the Smithsonian Institution's Center for Latino Initiatives while she finished her second year here at Mason. Her work at the Smithsonian provided better representation for Latino exhibits at the museums and research centers. Before she worked with the Smithsonian, Cabral was CEO and President of the Hispanic Association on Corporate Responsibility. This non-profit corporation united with large companies to promote Hispanic representation in both employment and philanthropy. "
