In her new role, Beatriz will be responsible for providing leadership and oversight to ensure that all claims operations meet performance and strategic goals and will be in compliance with regulatory and legislative requirements.

Her responsibilities will include the design and implementation of State Fund’s strategy for effectively supporting workers’ compensation reform (SB 863), as well as identifying other opportunities for State Fund to constructively influence the California workers’ compensation system.

Sanchez joined State Fund in 1987 as a claims adjuster and in 1992 marked many management level promotions that tapped her increasing claims expertise, team building skills, and development of programs such as employer seminars, and a unit of vocational rehabilitation counselors.

In 2008, she was appointed as senior vice president of Southern Claims Operations, in charge of regional operations in Los Angeles/Tri-County, Inland Empire/San Diego, and Orange County, before promoting to executive vice president of claims in 2010.

Commenting on the appointment, State Fund president and CEO, Tom Rowe, said: "Beatriz has excelled at every leadership challenge she has faced over the 2 1/2 years I’ve had the opportunity to work with her. She not only solves problems, she has the ability to anticipate them, and respond in advance. State Fund’s claims operation is fortunate to be led by such an individual."
