Alicia Chavez, Supervising Accountant

San Bernardino County employee Alicia Chavez
Alicia Chavez

First 5 San Bernardino is lucky to have Alicia Chavez on board! With more than 30 years of public sector experience, Alicia has a wealth of knowledge, a heart for service and a passion for helping children thrive. She’s led fiscal teams, managed big budgets and improved processes, always with an eye on supporting the next generation of leaders.

Alicia Chavez past experience includes eight years with the County of Orange and 23 years with the County of Riverside. After retiring from the County of Riverside, her passion for making a positive impact in the community inspired her to continue serving in local government. She is motivated by the belief that today’s children are tomorrow’s leaders and values the opportunity to build connections and understand the unique challenges of the communities being served.

Outside the office, Alicia and her husband are embracing life as empty nesters. Their blended family includes five adult children scattered across the U.S., plus a very spoiled two and a half-year-old granddaughter in Boston (care packages are a regular thing!). At home, their two pampered pups, Diego the Maltipoo and Presley the Shih Tzu, keep them busy.

When it’s time to relax, you’ll probably find Alicia on a cruise ship exploring new destinations and soaking up every bit of adventure. We’re thrilled to have her sailing with #TeamF5SB! Thank you, Alicia, for your contributions to our mission.
