NAAC formerly known as Mabuhay Alliance

Her dedication, service and leap of faith.

"I WAS not named 'Faith' for nothing," said Faith Bautista, President and CEO of the National Asian American Coalition (NAAC), formerly known as Mabuhay Alliance. And this is true.

Having served with the community since 1987, Bautista established Mabuhay Alliance, a national HUD-approved homeowner, small business and consumer advocacy organization serving the Pan Asian community. Starting in San Diego in 1987, Mabuhay Alliance is now known as National Asian American Coalition and since then opened five new offices in the past year, giving them a presence in San Diego, Daly City/San Francisco, Milpitas/Silicon Valley, Reno, Las Vegas and a regulatory office in Washington, DC.

She advocates in the halls of Congress, in the California legislature and in front of key federal legislators such as the Federal Reserve, FDIC, FTC, FCC and SEC and among America's Fortune 500 corporations, as a major voice for the Asian American community. She is a member of the San Diego Gas & Electric Community Advisory Committee, Office of Thrift supervision Minority Depository Institutions Advisory Committee and sits on the Low-Income Oversight Board for the California Public Utilities Commission. Through her leadership, she has gained the support of Corporate America in reaching out to minority groups and has been a leading advocate for low-income and underserved communities.
