WORLD AUTHORITY ON DIGITAL HATE AND THE INTERNET
COMING TO LAS VEGAS TO DELIVER IMPORTANT BRIEFINGS
NOT TO BE MISSED
We are very fortunate to have Rabbi Abraham Cooper, Dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center-Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles, coming to Las Vegas for Holocaust Memorial Day on Sunday and to do two important briefings on Monday. Rabbi Cooper is widely recognized as a pioneer and international authority on issues related to digital hate and the Internet. He has been a longtime activist for human rights causes on five continents.
Rabbi Cooper has recently written and released the Wiesenthal Center’s new report on Digital Terrorism and Hate Crimes; a growing menace and concern in our society. Rabbi Cooper has agreed to conduct two special briefings this Monday. The first will be for law enforcement officials hosted by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department at their Fusion Center. The second special briefing will be for representatives of our community’s media. This special briefing will be Monday, May 2 at 10:00 A.M. at the offices of the Greenspun Media Group at 2360 Corporate Circle in Henderson, third floor conference room.
It is our great hope that law enforcement, emergency managers, first-responders and broadcasters will be able to join us for Rabbi Cooper’s presentations. Additionally, we enthusiastically encourage everyone to invite other members of your staff for whom this subject is of interest and importance. We ask that you let the NBA know in advance who will be attending so we can ensure that appropriate arrangements will be made. |

AS WE ENTER 2nd QUARTER
As we move forward into the 2nd Quarter, there is great momentum on so many different levels. For the group of 14 who traveled to Washington, D.C., last month to attend the NAB State Leadership Conference and participate in meetings with each of our congressional delegation -- it is reassuring to know that our three Nevada House members have signed on to co-sponsor H. Con. Res. 21 (the Local Radio Freedom Act / anti-performance tax resolution). If you have not taken the time to write Shelley Berkley, Dean Heller and Joe Heck to thank them for their support, we ask you to please do so. They would love to hear from you.
