2008-2009 Kickoff Luncheon: California Government: Can we Meet the Challenges?.
Redistricting is just one of the many changes that is happening in Sacramento. Joseph Dunn, ESQ, will speak on Health care, the budget, and other issues in California.
Joseph Dunn, Esq., Chief Executive Officer, California Medical Association.
Prior to his appointment as California Medical Association's CEO in 2006, Joe Dunn served for eight years as a California State Senator representing the people of the 34th Senate District. As Senator, Mr. Dunn worked on behalf of children's hospitals, emergency services, seniors and affordable housing. He was honored as "legislator of the year" by military veterans, peace officers, firefighters, doctors, attorneys, homebuilders, affordable housing advocates, conservationists and mobile home owners.
Mr. Dunn led California's investigation into the state energy crisis and uncovered how Enron and other energy pirates were gaming the market. He helped unearth the infamous Enron memo that described in detail how the state was plundered and which led to civil penalties and criminal indictments of rogue energy traders. Mr. Dunn was dubbed the "Man Who Cracked Enron" by California Lawyer Magazine.
Prior to his election to the Legislature, Mr. Dunn played a major role in litigation to stop tobacco companies from targeting youth in their advertising campaigns. He fought industrial polluters who exposed neighborhoods to toxic chemicals and worked to give patients better access to quality health care.
Mr. Dunn graduated with honors and Bachelor's degree from the College of St. Thomas. He earned a Juris Doctorate degree with honors from the University of Minnesota School of Law in 1983.

Read with League: "Memo to President Elect : How We Can Restore America's Reputation and Leadership" by author Madeline Albright.
Whether a Democrat or Republican is elected in 2008, Madeline Albright writes about the most dramatic election in our nation's history. She offers provocative ideas about how to confront the striking array of challenges the next commander-in-chief will face. She blends lessons from the past with forward looking suggestions about how to meet these challenges. She addresses such issues as terrorism, wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, rivalries in the Middle East, the potential for nuclear war, and the headaches created by troublesome Leaders such as Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejar, Russia's Vladimir Putin, Venezuela's Hugo Chavez, and North Korea's Kim Jong-il.
