by Tiffany Chang

"Our greastest asset at Washington Business and Technology Institute (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 President Dr. Tony Lei of WBTI. "On the publications of WBTI through multimedia locally, nationally, and internationally, we have featured many of our own: U. S. Senators Harry Reid and John Ensign, U. S. Representatives James Gibbons and Shelley Berkley, Governor of Nevada Kenny Guinn, Pepperdine University President Andrew Benton, Chief Federal Judge Lloyed Geroge, Dr. Charles Runnels, Former Chief Justice and now Justice of the Nevada Supreme Court William Maupin, Dr. William Thompson, Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman, among others."
"Enriching our research 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, intellectuals, and professionals who join 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 are sincere servers to help improve the quality of life of all the residents and visitors of Nevada."
Nevada State Senator Dina Titus was appointed by Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) as a Fellow of Public Administration Institution (PAI) on August 15, 2001. She was very pleased to receive the congratulations call from Dr. Tony Lei early that morning. Having out of town for a couple of days, the call reminded her that at the suggestion of U. S. Senator Harry Reid, former Las Vegas Mayor Jan Jones has offered to step down as Nevada's Democatic National Committeewoman, and Titus will seek that job. This will give her some Washington, D. C., connections and enhance her political profile. With four trips a year to Washington, D. C., the committeewoman and committeeman from each state are expected to speak on party issues, raise money, and help recruit candidates.
"It's really my honor to be a Fellow of PAI," says Senator Dina Titus to the readers of Nevada Examiner. "I'm also honor to be invited by Dr. Lei as a Special Guest to the Event and Dinner Party for a Special Tribute to U.S. Senator Harry Reid on August 24, 2001," she continued. Titus will bring her husban Dr. Wright to attend the Party at the Asia Palace Chinese Restaurant this Friday evening. Dr. Wright is a Senior Professor in the Department of History at UNLV. The Event and Dinner Party was initiated by Dr. Tony Lei and Ms. Nancy Diaz. It will be chaired by Dr. Tony Lei, Dr. R. D. Prabhu, Dr. Ram Singh, Mr. Tonie Sison, and Ms. Rita Vaswani. Joined as hosts of the Dinner Party by community and organizational leaders, business exevutives and owners, and officials, we are expecting to have guests and participants about 380 people.
As a Professor of Political Science of UNLV , Titus is now a famous Senator of the State Nevada. She is also a State Senator Democratic Leader. On August 14, 2001, she said that she would run for Lieutenant Govenor if Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman runs for Nevada Governor. "She's brilliant, and she would be a great governor," Mayor Goodman siad of Senator Titus.
As to her new honor and appointment of August 14, 2001, Titus agreed with District Judge Valorie Vega on "This position will undoubtedly provide me with avenues for exploring improvements in public services to which I'm most dedicated." It is really a valuable advancement that we may have such an appropriate and achieved individual as a colleague to our Institution. Titus's expertise and good reputation in political science has been known locally and nationally. With her outstanding professional expertise and practical public administration experience, Ms. Titu's acceptance as a fellow of PAI evidences that in supporting Director Dr. William Thompason with Fellows Attorney General Frankie Sue Del Papa, Professor Roy Adamson, and Justice of the Supreme Court Nancy Becker, they will form an excellent leadership team to launching PAI into the next milleunnium for academic excellence and administrative practicality.
"The maturity of citizens society is the fundamental guarantee for the normal processing of democratic politics. In a citizens society, it depends highly on the team of public intellectuals. A good public intellectual interates peoples' opinion, analyze rationally, and points out wise perspectives and notice. Dina plays an important and significant responsibility of mission as an achieved intellectual at the same time as an important statewoman. Our Nevada is critically in need of these intellectuals and professionals in every kind of fields," said Dr. Tony Lei, President of WBTI.
