"Through the recommendations by our faculty members including Nevada District Judges Mark Denton and Valoria Vega, Dr. Michael Douglas has been appointed Associate Professor of the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration by Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) on February 3, 2005," announced Dr. John Wang, Spokesman of WBTI, on Monday, February 7, 2005 in Las Vegas, Nevada, U. S. A.

"It's really my pleasure and honor to be named as an Associate Professor of the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration of WBTI. WBTI has a good reputation with its Advisory Board and faculty members. The Board has Governor Kenny Guinn as its Chairman; U. S. Senators Harry Reid and John Ensign as Vice Chairmen; U.S. Representatives James Gibbons and Shelley Berkley, and Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman as Executive Directors. With the excellent and informative publications of 'Next Weekly' and among others, high-ranking officials of Nevada have been inspired to help realize the creed for community service and humane spirit of WBTI," expressed Justice Michael Douglas at the Event and Dinner Party in the Emperor's Garden Restaurant on February 4, 2005 in Las Vegas. It was held by the Committee to implement the ART EXHIBIT of Mr. QIN QUAN XIONG.

Justice Michael Douglas, the first African American justice in Nevada’s history, was appointed to the Court in March 2004 to fill the vacancy that resulted from the death of Justice Myron E. Leavitt. Justice Douglas’s appointment to the Supreme Court is the culmination of a 22-year legal career in Nevada that began by chance when he accepted what he thought was going to be a temporary job with Nevada Legal Services. Michael was elected in November 2, 2004 as Justice of the Nevada Supreme Court.

Justice Douglas, a native of Los Angeles, came to Las Vegas in 1982 from Philadelphia, Pa., where he had been working in private practice. The justice said he chose Las Vegas because he wanted to move back west and had a cousin living in the city. After two years at Nevada Legal Services, Justice Douglas was hired by the Clark County District Attorney’s Office and served in the Civil Division until 1996. In January 1996, he was appointed to the Eighth Judicial District Court bench and was retained in the election later that year, serving until his appointment to the Supreme Court. At the District Court, he served as Business Court judge along with handling a variety of civil and criminal cases. He was elected Chief District Judge in October 2003.

A graduate of California State College, Long Beach, in 1971 and the University of California Hastings College of Law in 1974, Justice Douglas has been a member of the Judicial Council of the State of Nevada and Vice President of the Nevada District Judges Association. He is president of the Nevada American Inns of Court, an organization of judges, lawyers and law students that promotes excellence and civility in the legal profession.

"We're pleased to have Justice Michael Douglas's interest in offering his caliber whose integrity, knowledge, and experience may bring to the School a professional and judicial perspective," points out President Dr. Tony Lei of WBTI. "Throughout Justice Michael Douglas's distinguished career, he has accomplished a great deal of judicial practice and earned a good reputation as a conscientious and dedicated professional."

"Through the recommendation by our faculty members including Nevada District Judge Valorie Vega and Sheriff Bill Young of Southern Nevada, Miss Nancy Oesterle has been promoted from Assistant Fellow to Associate Fellow of Public Administration Institution (PAI) by Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) on December 23, 2004," announced Dr. John Wang, Spokesman of WBTI, on Friday, December 24, 2004 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

"It's a great venue for me to endeavor my effort and interest to education and community service. Through the cooperation and development among business, academic institute, and government, we're expecting to promote the quality of living conditions for all our residents and visitors of Nevada," said Nancy Oesterle after she was being promoted.

Miss Nancy Oesterle is a judge. She holds the Department 6 Justice of the Peace position.

Judge Nancy Oesterle was appointed to the Las Vegas Justice Court Bench in December of 1990 and became the first female ever appointed in its 89 year history. She has been re-elected to that position twice and has been Chief Judge of Las Vegas Justice Court twice. Judge Oesterle served eight (8) years on the Nevada Judges Association board and was president in 1995. For the past six years she has been the Chairman of the Education Committee for the Nevada Judges Association and she is an active member of the Legislative Committee, speaking frequently in Carson City on bills that affect the Nevada Judges Association. She is a member of the Nevada Supreme Court Judicial Assessment Commission and chair of the Criminal Justice Task Force Sub-committee. She is co-chair of the Nevada Supreme Court Community Relations Committee and a member of the Nevada Supreme Court Mandatory Sentencing Commission. The Nevada Judges Association honored Judge Oesterle with the Distinguished Judge of the Year Award in 1994.

Judge Oesterle moved to Las Vegas 27 years ago from South Miami, Florida. She attended the University of Nevada Las Vegas in 1978 and earned her Bachelor of Arts Degree in Criminal Justice graduating with High Distinction. She then attended California Western School of Law in San Diego and received her Juris Doctor Degree in 1981. Upon graduating from law school, Judge Oesterle was employed by the Clark County District Attorney’s Office as a trial attorney in the criminal division for almost 10 years. During that time period she served six years on the Clark County Bar Association Board and in 1990 was President of Clark County Bar Association. In 1993 the Clark County Bar Association presented her with the Distinguished Presidential Service Award for her service to the Bar and that same year she was honored by the Chamber of Commerce with the Women of Achievement award for the legal category. In December, 2000, Judge Oesterle was named by the Clark County Law Foundation as the first ever Ambassador of the Year Award for her continued community service.

Judge Oesterle believes strongly in the importance of educating the public in all aspects regarding the law. She is the creator, producer and co-host of a weekly TV show, Law For The Layman, which has been airing in Clark County for the past thirteen (13) years. She also volunteers her time to a program she initiated entitled Keys to the Courthouse in which she visits elementary schools on a weekly basis and brings the elementary class to her courtroom to educate them regarding the criminal justice process. She has been the organizer of the Doctor v. Lawyer volleyball tournaments and softball games for charity for the past fourteen (14) years. But her real claim to fame was being a UNLV cheerleader throughout her years at UNLV.

In January 2000, Dr. Tony Lei and Dr. William Thompson established the Public Administration Institution (PAI) for WBTI. It has Dr. Thompson as its Fellow and Director; and Nevada State Senator and Professor of UNLV Dina Titus, Justice of the Supreme Court Nancy Becker, Former Attorney General Frankie Sue Del Papa, and Dr. Achie Chang as its Fellows; and District Judges Mark Denton, Valorie Vega, Michelle Leavitt, Jennifer Togliatti, and Jessie Walsh as its Associate Fellows.

"As the Director of Public Administration Institution (PAI) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI), I've shared a pleasant leadership with Dr. Tony Lei cooperated by all the Faculty members of this Institution since it's establishment on January 18, 2000. Innovated in integreting his expertise in institutional management and spiritual value in education, Dr. Tony Lei's effort and wisdom for the community service in Nevada in the recent eight years have been very valuable. We expect Pan Pacific and Asian American Forum (PPAAF) founded by this Institute in September 28, 2001 will contribute to improve the quality of life of the people and the prosperity of this State of Nevada," said Dr. William Thompson, UNLV Professor of Public Administration and former Chairman of Department of Public Administration, at the Gee Joon Chinese Restaurant of Horseshoe Club on January 28, 2002 in Las Vegas.

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 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 (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.

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. "It's our honor to invite a famous person of Justice Nancy Becker's excellenct caliber whose expertise, integrity, and good personal traits will bring this Institute wih a perspective of millennium," said Dr. Tony Lei on May 18, 2000. "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.

"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. I'm grateful to be joining such a distinguished panel of professionals who are committed to improving the lives of our citizens in this community. We've our Director and Fellow Dr. William Thompson; Fellows Nancy Becker, Dr. Roy Adamson, Mark Denton, Valorie Vega, Terry Care; Associate Fellows Lisa Brown, Cheryl Moss, Mary Kincaid, Lynette McDonald, Michelle Leavitt-Ftzpatrick, Cedric Kerns, Jessie Walsh, Betsy Kolkoski, Ann Zimmerman, Natalie Tyrrell, Sheri Vogel; Research Associate Sonya Douglass; Assistant Iris Zhang," said Judge Ann Zimmerman.

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.
"Public Administraton Institution of WBTI has played the role as a private NPO (Non Pofit Organization) to promote the study and research of public administration and strategy for social and public benefit. With the effort of the Faculty and under the brilliant leadership of Dr. Tony Lei, WBTI has accomplished a valuable contribution to the academic research and community service for Nevada. We share a great deal of honor also as what the Justice of the Supreme Court Nancy Becker does for her prestige as a PAI Fellow. Her participation in this Institution will enrich and enhance its academic production featured with practicality and adaptability as an efficient 'intelligent Tank' through her excellent and fruitful public administration experience and contribution," said the President of Seniors United Lillian Wallace on "Nevada Examiner" in May 9, 2000.
"Thank you very much for showing your faith in me as evidenced by your nomination. It is indeed an honor for me to be nominated by you and to become a Fellow of Public Administration Institution of Washington Business and Technology Institute. 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. Congress Representatives James Gibbons and Shelley Berkley, and Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman as Executive Advisors," Judge Natalie Tyrrell 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. Tony 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 members. They are some of the best in the world. We're sincere servers to improve the quality of life of all the residents and visitors of Nevada.
"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 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.
