NM Governor Martinez Appoints New WCA Deputy Director

Albuquerque, NM (WorkersCompensation.com) - Governor Susana Martinez and Director Darin A. Childers named Dana G. Chavez Executive Deputy Director of the Workers’ Compensation Administration (WCA), effective May 23, 2015. Chavez has been an employee with the Administration for 27 years and has served in various capacities, most recently as Clerk of the Court for the past four years. As Clerk of the Court, Chavez is responsible for the activities of both the Docket and Records Sections, assuring accurate processing of all court documents, pleadings, complaints, petitions and judge assignments.
Chavez began her career in state government as a secretary at the Department of Labor, prior to establishment of the WCA as a separate agency. With the agency established in 1988, Chavez began working as an insurance specialist, establishing processes and procedures for the new unit, processing certificates of insurance and educating employers regarding workers’ compensation insurance coverage. In 1991, she began managing the functions of the Employer Compliance Bureau, a position she held until 2004, when she became program manager for the agency’s proof of coverage efforts.

Prior to her public service, Chavez worked in the insurance industry, dealing with all lines of coverage.
WCA Director Darin Childers announced the appointment to agency staff on Tuesday, May 19, 2015. “Dana has been a reliable employee and is the consummate professional,” Childers wrote in his email announcement. Chavez will oversee the Operations Division of the WCA, including the WCA’s Dispute Resolution, Medical Cost Containment, Self-Insurance, and Economic Research and Policy bureaus. She will continue to serve as Clerk of the Court until a replacement is hired.
The position of Executive Deputy Director was recently vacated by Robert Doucette, who held the post since 2011, but who accepted a position as Deputy Superintendent of Insurance.
