AGNES SANCHEZ

CHIEF PEOPLE OFFICER

As the chief people officer at Laguna College of Art + Design, Agnes Sanchez played an invaluable role through the challenging times of the pandemic and campus-wide restructure. Sanchez’s Human Resource experience and highlevel strategic management skills have allowed her to be at the center of profound changes in the College’s governance and operations.

Since joining LCAD in 2021 and in a relatively short period of time, Sanchez has improved compliance, developed and implemented key policies, implemented best practices, and enhanced the College’s benefit offerings, all while reducing costs. She also supported the College’s diversity initiatives by raising campus awareness of inclusion, diversity, and unconscious bias.
