Sabrina Martinez ’92
Sabrina Martinez ’92 is the recipient of Houston Woman Magazine’s 2011 Broad Shoulders Award, for which she was nominated by AVANCE Houston, an organization that promotes the value of education, better parenting, and health to influence the lives of low-income families. Martinez has been on the AVANCE board since 2009, drawn to the organization because of its commitment to Head Start—an early childhood education program that she was enrolled in as a child. She is the chair of AVANCE’s Human Resources Committee and helped develop diversity, succession, social media, and employee-wellness policies for the organization. She is also senior adviser for global workforce-planning in the Human Resources Department at ConocoPhillips and previously has been involved in vendor management, retiree benefit management, health and welfare benefits design, and recruiting. Martinez is vice chair for the United Way of Texas Gulf Coast Young Leaders Program and past president of Swarthmore’s Alumni Council.
