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

CARSON CITY � Gov. Kenny Guinn announced today that his $300 million vehicle registration rebate for the vast majority of Nevadans is not taxable income in any amount, based upon a letter he has received from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). He said the IRS letter reaffirms his plan for the vehicle registration rebate, and that it is the best course of action for the greatest number of Nevadans.

Conversely, the letter said another plan based upon a driver�s license rebate is considered income in all circumstances for every recipient.

�All along I have felt that the rebate should be based on what Nevadans paid in vehicle registration,� Gov. Guinn said. �It is important that individuals who paid something in get something back. This is the best way to accomplish this. We must get this money into the pocketbooks of the citizens of Nevada.�

Gov. Guinn said he believed that the vehicle registration rebate continues to be the best avenue for rebating the most money to the most Nevadans, as it benefits most families and small businesses with multiple vehicles.

Gov. Guinn said he was pleased the IRS was deliberate and thoughtful in its ruling.

�We thought the best avenue for defining the tax consequences for our citizens was to speak directly with the IRS,� he said. �We�re very appreciative that the IRS has given us their guidance. They were extremely helpful and I can�t thank them enough for their assistance.�

The Second 27th Director and Advisory Boards Meeting of Taiwan Benevolent Association of America (TBAA) was held by its President Wendy Yu-Ping Wu successfully 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 with a series of venues to contribute to our people, community, businesses, government, and nation. In her service 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 experience had orchestrated one of the most successful nation-wide conventions / parties in recent years. In addition, Ms. Wendy Wu is also a well-respected contributor in another non-profit organization, which is known being one of the largest Asian American service groups, serving as the 17th president, Taiwanese American Chamber of Commerce - North California (TACC-NC). In her service in the TACC-NC, she has broken the organization's record of making donations to both local and world-wide charity organizations, in both the number of benefited charity organizations and the total monetary value.*4

Very soon, Ms. Wendy Wu is going to complete her term as President of the Taiwan Benevolent Association of America (TBAA) on July 30, 2005. Out of the excellent experience, knowledge, enthusiasm, and professionalism of Ms. Wu, she has elevated the TBAA to a new height in terms of its fame, quality and significance among many American Chinese and Asian American institutions in this country.

Now, TBAA is scheduled to hold its profound 28th Annual Conference throughout the July 29-30 weekend (2005) in Las Vegas, Nevada. In light of President Wu's efforts and unselfish spirit in promoting cross-culture 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.

"We're pleased to have Ms. Wendy Yu-Ping Wu's interest in offering her caliber whose integrity, knowledge, and experience may bring to Washington Business and Technology Institute an interstate perspective," points out President Dr. Tony Lei 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. Wendy deserves the award of Governor Kenny Guinn." *5

CARSON CITY � Gov. Kenny Guinn announced today that he has made several appointments for the 2005 White House Conference on Aging. The conference, scheduled to take place Dec. 11-14, will provide a group of 1,200 delegates from across the nation with the opportunity to vote on various resolutions to be presented to the president and Congress, helping to guide national aging policies for the next decade and beyond.

Gov. Guinn selected three primary delegates to attend the conference, along with two alternate delegates. The Governor�s primary delegates are: Janice R. Ayres, Executive Director of the Nevada Rural Counties RSVP program (Carson City), Mary Liveratti, Deputy Director of the Nevada Department of Human Resources (Carson City) and Socorro Castro, a member of the Nevada Commission on Aging (Las Vegas). Gov. Guinn named Charles Perry, Executive Director of the Nevada Health Care Association, and Jack Close, a former Nevada legislator and physical therapist, as alternates.

�I am glad to have the opportunity to select three of Nevada�s representatives for this conference,� Gov. Guinn said. �Each of our delegates have demonstrated an unwavering commitment to Nevada�s elderly. Each of them will bring a unique and highly informed perspective to the table and serve honorably as Nevada�s voice at this historic conference.�

The theme for the 2005 Conference, �The Booming Dynamics of Aging: From Awareness to Action,� will highlight the changing face of America�s elderly. It will focus on our nation�s aging population of today and tomorrow, including the 78 million baby boomers born between 1946 and 1964.

During the course of my administration, I have worked hard to restore programs and to raise funding levels in the area of human services following a series of severe recessionary cuts in the early 1990s. Since 1998, the State of Nevada has made great gains for human services, with average funding levels increasing about 15 percent per year since then to the present. My proposed human services budget represents the largest investment that the State of Nevada has ever made in this area, totaling more than $4.7 billion in the 2006-2007 biennium. This budget is some $814 million more than the current biennium, and some $316 million of this budget is new general fund dollars.

The Division of Mental Health and Developmental Services stands to see a 39 percent increase in overall spending, up from $376 million to $512 million, when the budget for the 2005-2007 biennium is compared to the budget of the 2003-2005 biennium. In terms of state general fund spending, the increase will be 46 percent, up from $244 million to $358 million. Funding initiatives include: the new psychiatric hospital in Las Vegas, scheduled to open in May 2006; staffing to operate 217 psychiatric beds, which is an increase of 86 beds from current capacity; funding to address mental health caseload growth; increases for medication clinics, residential support, outpatient counseling and day training programs. There are also many enhancements to improve services to help Nevada�s families and children: establishment of a first-ever Suicide Prevention Office; expanded services for people with disabilities including personal assistance services, independent living and traumatic brain injury; funding to cover waiting lists for Early Childhood Services; a redesign and expansion of children�s behavioral services; reduced foster care case management workloads; a new automated system for Child Care; and, expansion for both the Nevada Check-Up and Senior Rx programs.

The list above is only a sample of the state�s commitment to human resources. During my time as Governor, I�ve always felt that we must make human services and health care more readily available, that we must grow and improve our mental health facilities, and that we must prepare for the needs of our growing population. We have increased funding for some of the most vulnerable citizens in our state so that we can anticipate and stay ahead of the cost of delivering such expected services in the future. This is a fiscally responsible investment, one that improves our human services offerings, keeps our families healthy, and our state strong.
