Dear Friends:

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to Las Vegas for the 28th Annual Convention of the Taiwan Benevolent Association of America. I hope that, during your time here, you will be able to experience some of the many attractions that our beautiful city has to offer.

As you focus your attention on this year's theme, the Future Development of TBAA, I commend you on your dedication to promoting understanding between the people of Taiwan and the United States through educational, cultural, economic, and scientific programs. Your contributions to the betterment of the communities in which you live have had a significant positive impact on the quality of life for the families who reside in those communities. I especially congratulate Wendy Wu on the knowledge, expertise, and professionalism that she has exemplified during her tenure as TBAA Chairperson.

Enjoy your time in southern Nevada, and please accept my best wishes for a successful and memorable conference.*3

"On behalf of the Taiwan Benevolent Association of America, it is a great honor to receive this warm and thoughtful Greeting from U. S. Senator John Ensign. As a faculty member of the Public Administration Institution and Chairperson of the Interstate Business Cooperation and Development Council of the Washington Business and Technology Institute, it is my pleasure to put my effort and wisdom also to the community service and humane spirit of the Institute for the people and communities of Nevada," said Ms. Wendy Yu-ping Wu in San Jose, California after she was informed by President Dr. Tony Tung-tien Lei about the Greeting Letter through the phone call and WBTI website at
http://communitylink.reviewjournal.com/lvrj/wbti by Las Vegas Review-Journal.

The Second 27th Director and Advisory Boards Meeting of the Taiwan Benevolent Association of America (TBAA) was chaired and led by its President Wendy Yu-Ping Wu. It was a very successful event and was held on April 23, 2005 in Las Vegas, Nevada. With her distinguished leadership and outstanding talents, Wendy Wu is widely known as a teacher, advisor, social service volunteer, business person, and community leader. President Wu has contributed immensely to our people, our community, our businesses, our government, and to this great nation.

During her term of leadership as the Chairperson of the 26th Taiwan Benevolent Association of America Conference/ Convention in 2003 (held at San Jose, California), her superb managerial skills and vast experience were prominent as she orchestrated one of the most successful National Convention in recent years.

In addition, Ms. Wendy Wu is also a well-respected contributor in another non-profit organization, which is knownn as one of the largest Asian American service groups, serving as the 17th president -- the Taiwanese American Chamber of Commerce - North California (TACC-NC).

During her service in the TACC-NC, she has broken the organization's record of making donations to both local and world-wide charity organizations, both in number of benefitted charity organizations and as to total monetary value.*4

Ms. Wendy Wu plans to complete her term as President of the Taiwan Benevolent Association of America (TBAA) on July 30, 2005. Based on her excellent experience, knowledge, enthusiasm, and professionalism, Ms. Wu has elevated the TBAA to new heights in terms of its national recognition, quality of work, and its significance among many American Chinese and Asian American institutions in this country.

Soon, the TBAA is scheduled to hold its next 28th Annual Conference during July 29-30, 2005, in Las Vegas, Nevada. In light of President Wu's efforts and unselfish spirit in promoting cross-cultural understanding and mutual respect for diversified interests rising from a variety of the communities, she has already become a real dynamic force and role model in the common pursuit of improving quality of life for our society.

As the largest civic organization representing U.S. immigrants from Taiwan, the TBAA currently has approximately 15 chapters and 30,000 active members nationwide. Their members are concerned about the new developments in Cross-Strait Relations, the U. S. China Relationship and the Asian Economy. They are increasingly focused on working with mainstream American society on these and other issues. Your participation would greatly inspire them as they move forward to achieve their goal.*5

"It is a great honor to have U. S. Senator John Ensign's welcome us with great pleasure to the attendees who have traveled from all around the world to come to Las Vegas to participate in the 28th Annual Convention of the Taiwan Benevolent Association of America. We are also pleased to have President Wendy Yu-ping offer her time, talent, and efforts and whose integrity, knowledge, and experience have certainly brought to the Washington Business and Technology Institute an interstate perspective," points out Dr. Tony Lei, President of WBTI. "Throughout Ms. Wendy Wu's distinguished endeavor, she has accomplished a great deal of business and community service practices and earned a good reputation as a conscientious and dedicated professional. The Taiwan Benevolent Association of America and President Wu are pleased to received the Letter of Greeting from U. S. Senator John Ensign."*6

During my State of the State Address, I presented a plan to help the troubled schools of Nevada. Nearly 200 schools in our state are either on the failing list or are on the 搘atch list� for the federal No Child Left Behind law. To remedy this situation, I proposed the creation of the Commission on Educational Excellence, a blue-ribbon commission that would be charged with dispensing $100 million in remediation funding for schools that most clearly deserve this extra help. The $100 million is an unprecedented and much-needed infusion of money into Nevada public education, and can be used in a variety of ways, depending on priorities set forth in a school抯 individual improvement plan. The $100 million and the creation of Commission on Educational Excellence is intended to serve as a stimulus to get these once-dormant improvement plans off the shelf and fully implemented as quickly as possible.

I am pleased to report that the mechanism for my plan has been finalized, and that we are very close to seeing it fully realized. Senate Bill 404 creates a nine-member commission, including two principals and two teachers from schools that are showing us the way � schools that have overcome the odds and are meeting or exceeding current federal standards. The participation of these education professionals is critical to the plan抯 success, as I truly believe the front-line perspective of talented and motivated principals and teachers will help give the program an incomparable amount of energy, common sense and vision. The commission抯 charge will be to set guidelines for application for funding, provide evaluation of each school抯 improvement plan, and then determine the final grant award. Other commission members will include two school district administrators, a parent, the state superintendent of public instruction and a teacher-training representative.

The plan has many positives. One of its most striking features is its flexibility. We all know that different schools have different needs. If, for example, a school has determined in its annual improvement plan that it needs additional ESL instruction, professional development, or all-day kindergarten, a request may be submitted to the commission for additional funding in these or any other areas that are deemed vital by the school. As I said in January, the plan also carries with it strict accountability. The commission will also have the ability to make recommendations for change in leadership at schools that, even with additional funding, continue to lag behind federal standards.

SB 404 will soon go before the Senate Finance Committee and the Assembly Ways and Means Committee. I strongly urge continued support of this important plan, one that promises to get money and resources quickly to our troubled and failing schools. These are schools that for too long have been left in the budgetary shadows of public school funding. SB 404 is an important step forward, and I urge all Nevadans to support it.

The following is a Press Release from the 21 Century U. S. Secreatary of Labor. It is our pleasure to post the information:

Secretary Chao speaks at the fourth annual Asian Pacific American Federal Career Advancement Summit in Washington, D.C.*2 [[[(DOL Photo/Shawn Moore)]]]

WASHINGTON, May 3桿.S. Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao, in collaboration with the Office of Personnel Management and 10 federal agencies and partners, hosted the fourth annual Asian Pacific American Federal Career Advancement Summit on Tuesday. Secretary Chao created the APA Summit, the first of its kind, in 2002 to prepare Asian Pacific Americans for senior level participation in the federal workforce.

"As our nation celebrates Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, we recognize the many accomplishments and contributions of Asian Pacific Americans," said Secretary Chao. "The goal of this summit is to help Asian Pacific Americans in federal government build the necessary skills to advance their careers."*3

Secretary Chao received her B. A. degree in Economics with straight A's for all her four years at the famous Mount Holyoke College in New England. She obtained her M. B. A. degree from Harvard University in 1979. She also studied at M.I.T., Dartmouth College, and Columbia University.*4

"With the excellency of knowledge, humanity, and patriotism inspired by Elaine Chao, Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) has continued its many years effort to community service and spiritual belief. Nevada is honor to have WBTI under her spiritual Chairpersonship and I am especially honor to be a M.I.S. Manager of the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration of WBTI," humble as he is, River Sun chatted excitedly during the celebration dinner party at the Gee Joon Chinese Restaurant of Horseshoe Club. The Moon Festival of Midautumn has been many thousand years celebrated as a day for patriotism by the Chinese people in the Far East and Southeastern Asia. The party was held by WBTI in Las Vegas on September 11, 2003.*5

Following the inspiration of the past many years of the accomplishment of Ms. Elaine Chao's contribution of humane spirit to our society, we have the persistense of Wou Shien's spirit for education here in America. If a coolie and hard woker like him could dedicate to eduction by offering all his income and life to build a school for children in his village, what should not for us to offer our efforts for our community? *6

"The mission of this School [Graduate School of Business and Public Administration (GSBPA) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI)] will emphasize the humanitarian orientation of public administration and the social responsibility of business management. Through academic entrepreneurship, we may expect the endeavor of this School for the community service based on humane spirit, led by Chairperson Elaine Chao*4 of WBTI," said Dr. Dina Titus, Adjunct Professor of Administrative Strategies in GSBPA. Dina Titus was born May 23, 1950 in Thomasville, Georgia. She graduated from College of William and Mary with A.B.. She received her M. A. and Ph. D. degrees from University of Georgia and Florida State University, respectively. She is a Senator and Minority Floor Leader of Nevada Senate. Dina is also a professor of Political Science in UNLV.*7
