Stacey Taylor, a native of Reading, Pennsylvania, is deeply rooted in family and community—both of which remain the cornerstone of her life and a continual source of inspiration.
A graduate of Wilson Senior High School and Albright College, Stacey earned her degree in accounting and is an alumna of the Leadership Berks program.
Since August 2023, Stacey has served as President of the NAACP Pennsylvania State Conference and was re-elected in 2025 to continue leading the organization’s statewide efforts toward equity, justice, and civic empowerment. She has also faithfully served as President of the Reading Branch of the NAACP for the past 11 years, where she continues to champion social justice, youth engagement, and community development.
In addition to her leadership within the NAACP, Stacey serves on the boards of the GoggleWorks Center for the Arts, Berks History Center, Bring the Change, Berks Housing Opportunity Inc., and Juneteenth Reading PA. She also serves as an Advisory Council Member for Visions Federal Credit Union, where she helps strengthen community partnerships and promote financial empowerment.
Grounded in her faith and guided by a spirit of servant leadership, Stacey has served as Secretary for the Pennsylvania State Baptist Congress of Christian Education in the Central Region since 2005.
In her free time, Stacey enjoys traveling, dining out, and spending quality time with her family. Among her most memorable experiences was a recent journey to Africa—visiting Kenya, Nairobi, and Egypt—with her mother, daughter Anshawnece, and close friends.
Stacey strives to leave a legacy of service, empowerment, and inspiration. She lives by the words of Howard Thurman: “Never reduce your dreams to the level of the event which is your immediate experience…the things you are confronting now must not exhaust from the palette of colors from which you draw in order to paint your picture on the canvas of history.”
