Maria Echaveste BiographyMaria Echaveste, co-founder of the Nueva Vista Group in San Francisco, has built a distinguished career working as a senior White House official, long-time community leader, and corporate attorney. Echaveste's background provides her with a unique understanding of how to develop and implement a successful legislative strategy and how to build new alliances to support the work of her nonprofit and corporate clients.
Prior to founding the Nueva Vista Group, she served as assistant to the president and deputy chief of staff for President Clinton, a position she held from May 1998 through January 2001. In this role, she had oversight responsibility for many of the president's domestic policy initiatives, including education, civil rights, immigration, and bankruptcy reform.

Prior to working in the White House, Echaveste served as the Administrator of the US Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division, from June 1993 to early 1997. In that capacity, she deepened her knowledge of US labor laws and issues relating to labor and management relations.
Echaveste is a frequent guest on the weekly PBS television show To the Contrary, a women's political roundtable focused on issues of national interest. She is involved in politics and national policy as a member of the executive committee of the Democratic National Committee. Echaveste is also a member of the board of directors of People for the American Way, the Children's Law Center of Washington, DC, and CARE, a humanitarian organization fighting global poverty.
