Anna Escobedo Cabral (born October 12, 1959) serves as the Unit Chief for Strategic Communications in the External Relations Division of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB). Prior to joining the bank, Cabral served as the 42nd Treasurer of the United States from January 19, 2005 to January 20, 2009. She became the highest-ranking Latina in the George W. Bush Administration after the resignation of Rosario Marin. ==Early life== Cabral, a second-generation Mexican-American, was born in San Bernardino, California to Francisco Escobedo and Teresa Beltran. Her father's family had come to the United States from Mexico in the early 1900s as did her maternal grandmother. Alfred Escobedo, her paternal grandfather, also participated in the Bracero Program. Cabral's maternal grandfather was a Native American, born and raised on a reservation in Southern California.〔Committee on Finance, United States Senate, ("Nomination of Anna Escobedo Cabral to be U.S. Treasurer," ) ''S. HRG. 108-811: Hearing Before the Committee on Finance, United States Senate, One Hundred Eighth Congress, Second Session'' (October 8, 2004).〕〔Barbara Hagenbaugh, ("Treasurer promotes value of education," ) ''USA Today'' (November 14, 2006).〕〔Fresia Rodriguez Cadavid, ("An Autograph to Treasure," ) ''Latina Style Magazine'' (January/February 2005).〕 The oldest of five children, Cabral managed to attend Burbank Elementary School in the 1960s despite her family's hectic schedule: her father picked the fields of the Santa Clara Valley and both parents obtained various types of employment throughout the San Bernardino and Riverside counties.〔Irma Lemus, "From local fields to D.C.," ''The Sun'' (May 19, 2005).〕 By the time Cabral entered high school, the family had moved 20 times.〔Rebecca Christian, "U.S. Treasurer credits a teacher for her success...", ''Telegraph-Herald'' (August 26, 2006).〕 At very early ages, Cabral and her siblings had to collect scrap metal and salvage old motor parts with their father that they would then sell to help the family survive. Her father had seriously injured his back, significantly impacting his ability to provide.〔("The money maker: Anna Escobedo Cabral, U.S. Treasurer'" ) ''Latino Leaders'' (October 1, 2005).

Ferraez Publications of America Corp. 2004 (via ''HighBeam Research''). Accessed on June 28, 2009.〕 By age 16, Cabral was already on track to finishing high school early; after graduation, she intended to find a full-time job to help her parents financially. Her math teacher, Philip Lamm, convinced her instead to consider higher education. Lamm, she recalled in a later interview, "hand wrote the application. He told me that this was a better plan and found scholarship money for me to go to college." Lamm also helped her overcome her family's initial misgivings.〔〔〔 Cabral initially attended the University of California at Santa Cruz majoring in political science. In her sophomore year, she met Victor Cabral, a law student at the University of California, Davis; not long after this, she transferred to Davis. Between her sophomore and junior years, the couple was married and Cabral soon left school for a few years to raise a family. During this time, she also managed her husband's law firm. Cabral eventually returned to the University and graduated in 1987 with a Bachelor's degree in Political Science. After considering several graduate schools, Escobedo enrolled in a joint-degree program with the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University and the Boalt Hall School of Law at UC Berkeley. She and her family moved to Massachusetts. However, half way through the program, Cabral decided to withdraw in order to take care of family needs. In 1990, she obtained her Master of Public Administration degree from Harvard.〔〔〔〔United States Department of the Treasury, ''Treasury Officials'' (archived).
