Growing Value of the Fellowship of
Public Administration Institution
By Tiffany Chang

Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) was founded in January 8, 1996. We have produced distinguished scholars, successful entrepreneurs, and outstand- ing community leaders. At present, our vision fo 2001 is to continue to put more wisdom and effort in encourageing those people who are outstanding in academic research and community service. WBTI has established the Public Administration Institution in order to meet the increasng investigation requirements of current public managers and special research needs of professional public administrators. It seeks to provide an aware ness and understanding of the complex administrative and oganizational cntexts within which the administrators of public service make and mplement decisions, and to provide general technical competence in using the tools of administration and information managent.
Dr. William N. Thompson was appointed by WBTI as Fellow and Director of its Public Administration Institution (PAI) on January 18, 2000. "It has been an honorable gratifying to invite a famous professor of Dr. Bill Thompson's expertise, integrity, and good personal traits with highly international perspective to this Institute," Said President Dr. Tony Lei of WBTI on January 21, 2000. "Throughout Dr. Thompson's distinguished career and publication, he has been earned a good reputation as a conscientious and dedicated professional."

"It's our gratifying honor to have Dr. Adamson, a famous Emeritus Professor from Pepperdine University to join us as one of our faculty member.

Nancy A. Becker was appointed by WBTI as Fellow of PAI on May 2, 2000. Nancy received her Juris Doctorate degree from George Washington University National Law Center in 1979. She is now a Justice of Nevada Supreme Court. She is the recipient of numerous honors.

"Throughout her distinguished career, she has accomplished a great deal of judicial practices together with social services and has earned a good reputation of conscientious and dedicated professionalism.
As a born-again Christian, people had been inspired by U. S. Senator-elect John Ensign's sincerity, humanility, and credibility more than just his wealth and good looks in last November. In view of his admirable qualities, achievements, passion, and unshakable belief in building a better Nevada, WBTI led by Dr. Lei, a fellow believer, honored him as Advisor and Vice Chairman of its Advisory Board on November 8, 2000.
"It's a very prestigious honor to be appointed by WBTI as an Associate Fellow of PAI. WBTI is a very well respected and integral part of this community.

By the act of love itself, we are enriched. Love in action is service above self. Make service a part of our character and experience the abundant reward that comes from serving others. The Bible teaches: "... let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth ( 1 John 3:18)." District ( Family ) Court Judge Cheryl Moss wrote Dr. Lei : " I am delighted and honored to be appointed as an Associate Fellow of the Public Administration Institution of Washington Business and Technology Institute. Thank you for this opportunity to service, and I hope to gain more knowledge, insight and awareness about public service and community issues through your prestigious institution. I remain dedicated to helping the community, and I am inspired by your leadership, wisdom and guaidance.

Your accomplishment and achievement have demonstrated that taking part in the community does make a difference. Best wishes and thank you again for your unselfish kindness, support and encouragement."

Congress Representatives James Gibbons and Shelley Berkley, and Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman as Executive Advisors," she said.
"Our greatest asset at WBTI is our people__not facades or fountains, not landscapes or lakescapes, but people-- faculty, advisory board members, administration, and a host of friends," said Dr. Lei. "Enriching our reseach and community service process were made possible by these friends who joined and supported this academic institute. WBTI is really a chain of dedicated individuals who joined to research, serve, support and to give. We take great pride of our people, including our outstanding faculty. They are some of the best in the world. We're sincere servers to improve the quality of life of all our Nevadans." Power in politics should have a direction that the power based on knowledge is the power of righteousness. We wish that a pure fountain may prosper and enrich our splendid and golden country through the spirit that knowledge calls, ultimately, for a life of service. "In God we trust. Life is for the purpose to serve our lovely society," Dr. Lei points out.
"One of my priorities will be 'telling the Pepperdine story' of quality and value to a large audience, reaching a broader demographic, and having a global range," said Dr. Andrew Benton at his Inauguaration as President of Pepperdine Univesity on September 23, 2000. "We need to strengthen Pepperdine's diversiy, its connection to its heritage, its sense of community and community involvement, and its scholarship and culture through faculty involvement in outside research and publishing." "Chairman Thomas Bost of the Board of Regents believes that this new President is best equipped to lead Pepperdine to the next millennium with academic excellence and Christian values. Dr. William Bannosky, the school's fouth president, assures that the new president would seek the highest standads for academic and spiritual excellence," said D. Lei who received his M.B.A. and Ed. D. in Institutional Management from Pepperdine in 1969 and 1990, respectively.
