Alexander M. Sanchez joins the O'Malley-Brown Administration from United Way of America where he
served as Senior Vice President for Community Impact Leadership. In that role, Sanchez established the organization as the largest national partner of the Internal Revenue Service and created the Financial Stability Partnership, an economic self-sufficiency initiative for working families that last year increased the generation of Earned Income Tax Credit refunds to more than $420,000,000 and earned additional multi-million dollar corporate and foundation investments.
