"Dr. Tony Lei is one of the most respected first class alumni of Tunghai University. We have had several distingueshed alumni like him among our first four classes. It's my interest to join WBTI with my knowledge, wisdom, and talent for the promotion and cooperation of academic and tourism development between Nevada and Penghu. This is a great challenge, but a worthy and honorable effort. Of international importance, Penghu's relationship and ties with Nevada has become a valuable asset. We hope that a modern public administration strategy will be formed and based on mutual cooperation and development among the international cities. It's my honor to be named as an Assistant Professor to GSBPA of WBTI," said Dr. Feng-wei Lai in the Conference held at Nevada Governor Kenny Guinn's Office on September 6, 2005 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Governor Kenny Guinn of Nevada reminds us that tourism is the bedrock of Nevada's economy. To expand and diversify our domestic and international markets are absolutely essential to our long-term economic growth and stability.*1

Governor Kenny Guinn and Lt. Govenor Lorraine Hunt said that Nevada's tourism industry must continue to expand its offerings and reach out to diverse markets that range from outdoor enthusiasts to residents of the world's most populous nation (China). Speaking at the general session of the Governor's Conference on Tourism at Caesars Palace, he and she each praised Nevada's continuing efforts to supplement its gaming-based core with non-gaming amenities such as shopping, dinning, and outdoor recreation.*2

"I can't overstate the significance of China's potential as a visitor market for Nevada," Lt. Governor Hunt said. "I found modern cities rife with elements of Western culture such as Starbucks Coffee, MTV, the Rat Pack-era music of Frank Sinatra, etc. Up to 10 percent of the country's approximately 1.4 billion residents can now afford to travel overseas, which has positioned China as Nevada's "newest and most-modern market" for tourism."

On May 18, 2000 Lt. Governor Lorriane Hunt of Nevada led a delegation from Nevada to Taipei of the Republic of China. "This is important to Nevada in areas beyond just our tourism industry. Taiwan enjoys a growing economy with considerable technological advancement and as such, they are one of the world's top 15 trading nations. And with Nevada's total exports exceeding one billion dollars in 1999 alone, our local businesses stand to benefit as the Taiwanese market continues to prosper and expand," Lt. Governor of Nevada Hunt pointed out in Taipei.*3

"The Nevada Commission on Tourism believes it is vital to establish a presence in Taiwan in order to represent our tourism destinations to this emerging world travel market. Taiwan's capital, Taipei, has a working population of four million, with a youthful, technologically oriented work force. There is tremendous potential for building tourism among this sector," said Hunt.*4

"Similar to the new direction of the government in Taiwan, we are seeking new horizons for the economy of Nevada. Building mutally beneficial relationships with Taiwan, and other foreign countries, will create the demand for direct, regularly scheduled flights. Our work will help Nevada establish contacts for lucrative business and convention visitors from around the world that will form the foundation for a new pillar in the Nevada economy."*5

Las Vegas, Nevada, Representative Offices to Taiwan and Shanghai of Nevada Commission on Economic Development, and Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) extend their heartily welcome to the business, tourism, and investment from Asian countires to boom the tourism and ecomomy of this silver state.

In anticipation of the potential for increased tourism in Penghu, Taiwan, at least one Nevada casino enterprise has already purchase a significant piece of property in Penghu. At the request of Charlyne Chen (陳思庭), NCED has contacted several Nevada cities about establishing a sister-city relationship with Penghu. A Team of delegation organized by the high-ranking officials of Penghu will come to Las Vegas in September 4, 2005 for further plan in tourism and business cooperation and development.*6

---Growing Value of the Fellowship of Public Administration Institution of WBTI
(Nancy Becker is now the Chief Justice of the Nevada Supreme Court)
By Tiffany Chang

Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) was founded in January 8, 1996. We have produced distinguished scholars, successful entrepreneurs, and outstanding community leaders. For the time being, our vision of 2004 is to continue to put more wisdom and effort in encourageing those people who are outstanding in public administration, academic research, and community service. WBTI has established the Public Administration Institution (PAI) 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 awareness and understanding of the complex administrative and oganizational contexts within which the administrators of public service make and implement decisions; and to provide general technical competence in using the tools of public administration and information management.*1

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."

On March 3, 2000, Dr. Roy J. Adamson was appointed Fellow of PAI. "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. The fellowship of Dr. Adamson with both of his expertise and integrity has brought PAI the milestone to an interstate research institution in the United States," said Dr. Tony Lei.

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. Tony Lei, a fellow sincere believer, honored him as Advisor and Vice Chairman of its Advisory Board on November 8, 2000.

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. Tony 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 for me to serve, 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. I am also fortunate to have met you and your wife, Judy, because you are both active and dynamic individuals in the community. 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."

"Even with the constancy of his presidential responsblities, Tony ( Dr. Tony Lei ) carved out time and energy during the past three years with wisdom and knowledge through the cooperation of Dr. William Thompson to create the blueprint for the Institution that ultimately paved the way for the 2000 openning of our Public Administration Institution (PAI) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI)," said Justice of the Supreme Court Nancy Becker for "Nevada Examiner " on June 30, 2000.

This position will undoubtedly provide me with avenues for exploring improvements in public services to which I am most dedicated. I look forward to working together with you in these endeavors," wrote the District Judge Valorie Vega to Dr. Tony Lei from her Office of the Eightth Judicial Distict Court at the Clark County Courthouse on May 22, 2000.

"It is certainly an honor to be acknowledged by you for my commitment to serving this community. I look forward to expanding my public service by working with you and the Institute to continue to better our community. You dedication is a wonderful example of what others should strive to accomplish," wrote Judge Natalie Tyrrell to Dr. Tony Lei.

"WBTI has built a sound foundation with its excellent and achieved faculty members. We've been encouraged to better our endeavor for we've Dr. Kenny Guinn, Governor of Nevada as our Chairman of the Advisory Board; U. S. Senators Harry Reid and John Ensign as Vice Chairmen; and U. S.

"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. Tony Lei.

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 community and country," Dr. Tony 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 Dr. Tony Lei who received his degrees of M.B.A. and Ed. D. (Doctor of Education) in Institutional Management from Pepperdine in 1969 and 1990, respectively.

On May 11, 2001, State Senator Terry Care, Chairman of the Democratic Party in Nevada, wrote Dr. Tony Lei: "I commend your work, the work of WBTI, and I wish to rely my respect for Justice Becker."

To emphasize the balance of the practicality and theoraticality of the programs, the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration (GSBPA) of WBTI has supported by many high-ranking officials of Nevada in offering their times, experiences, and knowledge to teach at an honorary or adjunct capacity.*3

"Through the recommendations by our several faculty members including District Judge Valorie Vega, Ms. Jackie Glass has been appointed Adjunct Associate Professor of the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration (GSBPA) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) on March 9, 2004," announced Dr. John Wang, Spokesman of WBTI, on March 10, 2004 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Following the spirit of entrepreneurship, Jackie Glass has always been willing to take a challenge head on. Now she is on her challenge!

While still in high school, Jackie worked as a waitress to help buy her school supplies and school clothes. When she decided to attend the University of Georgia, she continued as a waitress and worked her way through college. She took on extracurricular assignments, and earned a degree in journalism.

Her journalism career brought Jackie to Las Vegas in 1978 where she began as a radio news reporter. She moved quickly to television and served as both a morning anchor and crime beat reporter. As she followed the course of the trials she covered, she watched attorneys in action, and knew she could do as well. A new challenge lay before her.

Once again, she worked her way through college, graduating from the University of San Diego School of Law. In 1984, Jackie passed the Nevada Bar exam before graduation, received her Juris Doctor Degree,*4 was admitted to the Nevada Bar, and married her husband, Steve Wolfson.

With her husband, Jackie worked to build their successful law practice while helping at her daughters' school, chaperoning field trips to Washington, DC, supporting the Girl Scouts and projects such as Nevada Reading Week.

On the professional side, Jackie has lectured at the UNLV Boyd School of Law, spoke on law topics at local high schools, and appeared on the KLVX show, "Law for the Layman". She has devoted years as a hearing master to juvenile, domestic and paternity issues as well as criminal law.

She credits her seventeen years of legal experience and her work as a journalist on the crime beat for giving her an insight for the law, the role of the judiciary, the needs of victims, and for ways to make our system work better.

She served as a member of the Las Vegas Housing Authority Board and spent six years as a Board Member of the Senior Citizens Law Project.

As a District Court Judge of Department 5, Nevada, Jackie Glass is part of a new generation involved with her family, her profession and her community to make a difference for all of us here in our Silver State.

People with integrity live with clear consciences. "To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice," stated in the Proverbs 21:3 of Bible.*5

"I agree with Judge Valorie Vega's idea to be honored as a Fellow of the Public Administration Institution (PAI) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI). She wrote: 'It will undoubtedly provide me with avenuess for exploring improvements in public services to which I am most dedicated.' I'm glad also to share the similar position as its faculty member--- Obligatory Legal Counselor of Pan Pacific and Asian American Forum (PPAAF).

"It's significant. Dr. Tony Lei told me that for community service --- that based on 'love in action is service above self' --- the abundanct reward from one's humune love, spiritual excellence, and professionalism of expertise are far more greater than solely his or her title," said Jackie Glass, Esq. on April 18, 2002. Jackie is now a famous District Judge of Nevada.*6

On March 9, 2004 at the Event and Dinner Party held by the Asian American Community for Ms. Ellen Knowlton, Special Agent in Charge, FBI, as the Speaker; Jackie was very pleased to learn from Dr. Tony Lei, President of WBTI, that she was challenged with a teaching professionalism in the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration of WBTI for our community at an adjucnt capacity.*7

"As a bridge between the business and university, the integrity of community service and academic research of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) will help Nevada go advance for the cooperation and development in education, business, and culture among international countries. As an Adjunct Associate Professor of the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration (GSBPA) of WBTI, it's my pleasure to extend my knowledge, experience, and professionalism in public service for community and education at the adjunct capacity,"*8 said Jackie Glass, District Judge of Nevada, at the event and dinner party by Unity Council of Nevada in Lindo Michoacan Mexican Restaurant on April 28, 2004 in Las Vegas.*9

***** Neswbrief of WBTI on February 4, 2004 *****

An Event and Dinner Party will be held by the Asian American Group
to pay a special tribute to Justice Myron Leavitt
By Tiffany Chang

On Wendesday, January 4, 2004, the Asian American Group of Asian American Community in Nevada will hold an event and dinner party.*12 At 7:00 - 9:30 p. m., the location will be at the Harbor Palace Restaurant , China Town, Las Vegas. The Event is for a Special Tribute to Justice Myron Leavitt.

It planned to invite Chief Justice Debra Agosti of the Nevada Supreme Court and District Judge of Nevada Michelle Leavitt as Keynote Speakers.

The following individuals had been planned as Event Chairpersons: David Amesbury, Esq., General Counsel --- CAN-DO; Raj Chanderraj, MD, Founder, Friends of India; Benson Lee, Esq., President, Chinese American Citizens Alliance of Las Vegas; R. D. Prabhu, MD, Chairperson, CAN-DO; among others. It planned to have Event Hosts: Dolly DeLeon, Past President, Philippine Chamber of Commerce, and Editor-in-Chief, "US Asian Chronicle"; Romeo Jurani, Past President, Philippines Bisayans Society of Nevada; Steven Kwon, Past President & Founder, Asian Chamber of Commerce; Vimla Lendway, Exceptional Travel Service; L. Kristopher Raft, Esq.; Rita Vaswani; Joey Villaflor, MD, Chairman, Board of Health; among others.

It is our regret not being able to post the names and titles of many important and special guests including some more hosts, because we could not get an update of the above list since January 20, 2004.

All of the guests will be about 200 people. Attire for the event and party is business. Guests whom invited by Dr. Tony Lei, Chairman of Chinese American Academic Association of Nevada and his wife Judy are: Miss Agnas Chan, Ms. Helen Hsueh, Mr. Jimmy Hsu, Miss Christine Hu, Mr. Xiao-sheng Huang , Mr. Raymond Lam, Mr. Mark Meng, Mr. Ja Pu, Dr. An-pyng Sun, and Mr. Yuan Chuan Tsai.

It was already popular for the past years to hold dinner parties to pay special tribute to elected offficials, but most of them were civil administratives or civic representatives. Dr. Tony Lei initiated to hold event and dinner party to pay a spcial tribute to the judicial professionals through elections in Nevada. Justice Nancy Becker was the first one selected by him to pay a tribute. A successful event and dinner party was held for her on May 23, 2001 at Harbor Palace Restaurant in Las Vegas. It was chaired by Dr. Tony Lei, President of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI); Theresa Malone, Member of Nevada State Board of Education; Dr. R. D. Prabhu, Chairperson of CAN-DO; and Dr. Joey Villaflor, Member of Nevada Board of Health. We the Asian American communities have continuously achieved the efforts for other judicial professionals since then.

"To dedicate to the creed of Washington Business and Technology Institute, it's my challenge as an Associate Fellow of it's Public Administration Institution (PAI) to endeavor with all the intellectuals of this Institute to improve the quality of life of the people of Nevada," said Jennifer Togliatti at the Dinner Party on May 17, 2002. The Event with dinner was held by the Asian American Community to pay a special tribute to District Judges Michelle Leavitt and Jennifer Togliatti at the Harbor Palace Seafood Restaurant in Las Vegas.

Judge Michelle Leavitt deserves special recognition of her expertise, integrity, conscientious and dedicated professionalism. She has been a bright Associate Fellow of PAI since 2000. "Thanks to Dr. Tony Lei, Dr. R. D. Prabhu, and Attorney David Amesbury to chair this Event and Party. Together with knowledge as the power of rightiousness, we may build a community where this and future generations will have more opportunities and advantages to live a prosperous and healthy life," said Judge Michelle Leavitt at the Dinner Party.*13

We are deeply regret and sorry that Judge Michelle Leavitt's father passed away weeks ago on a Friday. Myron Leavitt, 73, a Justice of the Nevada Supreme Court, who had a long political career in Nevada. He was born in Las Vegas. Myron was a football and track athlete at the University of Nevada at Reno, where he earned a journalism degree. He worked a year as sports editor of the Las Vegas Review-Journal before studying law at the University of Utah.*14

Myron had private law practice for 28 years. He served as a Councilman of Las Vegas, a Commissioner Clark County and a Justice of the Peace before winning election as Lieutenant Governor of Nevada from 1979 to 1983.

Leavitt served as a Clark County District Court Judge for 15 years before winning a Supreme Court position as one of its Justice in 1998.*15 The late Myron Leavitt is honored as a Memorial Fellow of the Public Administration Institution (PAI) of Washingoton Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) on February 4, 2004.

"I can't help thinking about Justice Myron Leavitt, our long time Asian American friend of Nevada, who died so unexpectedly. This brings to my mind the urgency of our times in Las Vegas. We note the vanishing of many heroes that built the world of Nevada after 1963. We recognize that the best way to honor those who have gone before us is to rise up and find the greatness in our own lives, the strength of charater, the vision and courage, the determination and selflessness to address the challenges that still lay before us," says Dr. Tony Lei, President of WBTI, for the Event and Dinner Party held by the Asian American Community of Nevada on February 4, 2004 in Las Vegas.

Asian American Community has won recognition for contribution to Nevada by the American Mainstream. The main reason for this recognition is the great and cooperative wisdom and effort that we the Asian American communities have continuously participated and offered to the mainstream society in Nevada.*16
