Michelle Legaspi Sanchez, who has been serving as the CCFWG’s director of programs, will assume the post immediately, according a CCFWG press release.

Sanchez, who has several years’ of experience in the Chester County nonprofit community, raised the caliber of the CCFWG during her tenure as program director. She managed all CCFWG’s programming, including grant-making, advocacy and education efforts, the release said.

She led the efforts for the publication of the updated Blueprint Report, optimized the Girls Advisory Board curriculum, and updated the grants policies to align with the CCFWG’s strategic direction of creating positive impact in community-identified priority areas for women and girls.

Prior to joining the CCFWG, Sanchez served as the director of evaluation and reporting at the Maternal and Child Health Consortium of Chester County, where she oversaw the federally-funded regional Children’s Health Insurance Enrollment Initiative and the evaluation systems of all programs.

Following the resignation in June of Susan Mostek, the former executive director, the CCFWG board enlisted a search committee to find a replacement.

“I have worked with Michelle for a number of years, and I think she is going to be an excellent executive director in this ever-changing world of philanthropy,” Mary Lou Sterge, the CCFWG board president, said in the release. “The board is very happy to welcome her to this new position. Michelle knows Chester County very well and will be a huge asset to our work.”

Sanchez holds master’s degrees in both social work and public health from the University of Pennsylvania. She is an adjunct professor at West Chester University and Immaculata University. She currently lives in Downingtown with her husband and their five daughters, the release said.

“CCFWG is a uniquely positioned organization with a mission I truly believe in,” said Sanchez in the release. “I am very fortunate to work with this incredibly committed staff and board to move the organization forward as a bold voice for women and girls.”

The Chester County Fund for Women and Girls leads and unites the community through philanthropy and advocacy to ensure that women and girls have resources and opportunities to thrive. For more than 18 years, it has raised awareness about the critical needs of women and girls, and has awarded over $2 million to 65 nonprofits. To learn more, visit www.ccfwg.org.
