*Elaine Peng 彭一玲 /President
Elaine Peng worked as a Chinese teacher for more than 10 years, but since 2013, she has been a dedicated mental health advocate and educator providing education to reduce public prejudice against mental illness, as well as decreasing stigma among caregivers. She has started five Chinese support groups and developed the first NAMI Chinese website www.namichinese.org in the United States. Elaine is a leader and developer of multiple mental health programs for the Chinese community. As a consumer and family member, she helps to promote mental health services and provide peer support to the underserved Chinese community. Her only purpose was to help those who desperately need help; hoping that through programs what the MHACC provide, they do not have to experience the despair she went through. She was the recipient of the 2016 NAMI National's Multicultural Outreach Award, and the 2017 NAMI California's Multicultural Outreach Award.

*Janet Lin/Secretary
Mrs. Lin has been caring for her daughter, first diagnosed with schizophrenia in 1992, for a quarter of a century, and is happy to say that her daughter is now high functioning. Although she still has hallucinations and hears voices, and her intellectual ability is damaged by her medication, she is now able to do some nice jewelry work and participate in weekend shows, help with the household chores, take buses on her own to see her psychiatrist and counselor on a regular basis, and attend social gatherings and make new friends. Janet believes her experience in the last 25+ years can be beneficially shared with parents facing similar problems in their children and give them courage and consolation. Mrs. Lin was the General Manager of General Rich Corp. in Taipei, Taiwan from 1986-2006. Janet was the President of Yue Fon USA, Inc. in Bellevue, Washington from 2008-2017. She has related experience in Mental Health.
