                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 6, 2023

  Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Speaker Pro Tempore, I rise today to recognize the 
contributions of Amy Fabi as she is honored as one of California's 8th 
Congressional District's Women of the Year.
   Amy has served her community of Solano County in a profound and 
meaningful way.
  Early in her career, she worked tirelessly to provide advocacy and 
academic support to Asian American Pacific Islander, Latinx, and 
African American families in the East Bay. Working with diverse 
communities led her to her current role as Commissioner with First 5 
Solano where she works to ensure a solid foundation for all children.
  Amy graduated from UC Berkeley and received her master of social work 
from San Francisco State University. As a licensed social worker, she 
has seen the impact of trauma on childhood development and the 
importance of support services for vulnerable youth. Inspired by those 
she meets through her work, she advocates tirelessly for all children 
to have access to opportunities that will allow them to achieve their 
fullest potential.
  Beyond her professional work, Amy is a member of the board for the 
Vacaville Police Activities League, scholarship chair for the Chinese 
American Association of Solano County, and internship chair for the 
Solano County Asian American Pacific Islander American Public Affairs 
Association. She has earned numerous awards for her volunteerism 
throughout the community and her commitment to serving others inspires 
all who know her.
  On behalf of the people of California's 8th Congressional District, 
it is my pleasure to honor and recognize Amy Fabi for her positive 
contributions to our community.
