Lifetime Achievement
Stacie Hiramoto, MSW

Stacie Hiramoto, MSW, has been a proud social worker and NASW member for
many years. She is one of the founders and currently the Director of the Racial and
Ethnic Mental Health Disparities Coalition
(REMHDCO). After direct practice in the
field of developmental disabilities, Stacie found her passion in policy and advocacy.
She worked in the legislature and afterwards, as a legislative advocate. At the time,
she was one of only a few Asian women who were registered lobbyists in California.
She worked with housing and mental health advocates to pass legislation that brought
California into compliance with the Federal Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988,
protecting people with disabilities from housing discrimination

Stacie is very proud to have served as Director of Legislative Affairs and Government
Relations for the California Chapter of NASW. She is grateful to NASW for providing
so many opportunities for career growth and leadership experience, including serving
as Vice President on the National Board, as well as President to the Board of the
California Chapter. She received her MSW from the University of California,
Berkeley’s Graduate School of Social Welfare. Stacie is indebted to her husband, Ken
Koyama, as well as her entire family, for always supporting her career in social work

Community Member of the Year
Jeffrey Stabile

Jeff Stabile has been a leader in the community on LGBTQIA+ issues, mental health,
veterans’ services. A U.S. Air Force and Vietnam Veteran, Jeff started the Santa Clarita
Valley (SCV) PFLAG
(Parents, Families, Friends & Allies of Lesbians & Gays) and was

Organization of the Year
Chinese for Affirmative Action (CAASF)

Chinese for Affirmative Action (CAA) was founded in 1969 to protect the civil and
political rights of Chinese Americans and to advance multiracial democracy in the
United States. Today, CAA is a progressive voice in and on behalf of the broader Asian
American and Pacific Islander community. They advocate for systemic change that
protects immigrant rights, promotes language diversity, and remedies racial and social
injustice.

CAA’s vision fifty years ago that endures today is of a world that works for everyone —
a world in which all people live free from bigotry, discrimination, hate, prejudice, and
bias. Core civil rights principles such as inclusion, equity, justice, and compassion guide
the type of change they seek to achieve and the values they seek to embody.

Though much progress over the past five decades has been made, it is clear that since
2016 we are in a moment of great danger and great opportunity. With the rights and
well-being of historically disenfranchised, marginalized, and vulnerable communities
under ferocious attack, CAA is stepping up in all areas of its work to meet growing
demands for assistance and leadership.
