Focus On Funding
Jonathan Westin, assistant director
for Legislative Affairs, United Jewish
Communities (UJC), will discuss
"Advocacy in Action: Maximizing
Public Funding for our Jewish
Community," at a Conversations with
Legislators and Civic Leaders lunch
briefing sponsored by the Jewish
Community Relations Council at noon
Tuesday, Aug. 19, at the Max M. Fisher
Federation Building in Bloomfield
Township.
Westin's areas of expertise include
legislative strategy and advocacy
related to health care delivery, long-
term care and aging — including such
key programs such as Medicaid and
Medicare which fund much of the care
delivered by Jewish communal provid-
ers.
In addition, Westin concentrates
on the intersection of private-public
initiatives that will prepare the nation
for the health needs of the Baby Boom
generation, the first wave of which
turns 65 in less than three years.
An optional light lunch will be
available for $10. Kosher dietary laws
observed. Reservations are required.

Global Business Forum
The First International Business
Conference will be held Aug. 7-9 in
Metro Detroit at the Hyatt Regency
in Dearborn. Israel will be among the
countries represented.
The conference is presented by Dr.
Matthew Kuofie of Global Strategic
Management Inc., Beverly Hills, along
with collaboration from business,
universities and both local and inter-
national governments.
"The goal of this conference is to
create opportunities for both foreign
companies desiring to do business
here in the United States as well as to
demonstrate international expansion
opportunities for Michigan-based
businesses," says Kuofie. "The ultimate
goal is to create 300,000 new jobs here
in Michigan by 2011."
Prime industry focus areas include
alternative energy and power; tele-
communications and information
technology; healthcare and biotech-
nology research and development;
robotics, electronics and automation;
and finance. As Michigan becomes a
greater international destination, tour-
ism, local commerce and real estate
also will benefit.
