Paul Harris Award Recipients Please plan to be present at the Governor's Gala - October 25  Anant Pai honored by Shan Pai  Arthur Gallardo In 1967, Dr. Husing was a member of District 5330’s (then District 532) Group Study Exchange Team to Zambia and Rhodesia. During the trip, the team met with top level leaders in commerce, industry and government. He met ambassadors, presidents and business owners/CEOs. Dr. Husing states that if it were not for the Rotary experience, international interests would likely have never occurred. As a junior college professor at the time, he was able to broaden his macroeconomic knowledge so that he could better instruct and advise his students. In the years that followed his GSE experience, his career blossomed. Some of his positions included Senior Consultant to the California State Assembly, Economist at California State University San Bernardino, President of the Inland Empire Economic Partnership, Editor and Writer for the Inland Empire Quarterly Economic Report and Vice President of Economics & Politics, Inc., dealing with economics and public policy. Dr. Husing has traveled internationally to assist and advise on economic development. He was part of a team to advise the government of Latvia on conversion to capitalism in 1991. In Nepal, he was personally responsible for 50% of the funding to provide solar power to the only hospital in the Humla province. Indirectly, as a world renowned economist and professor, he has developed principles and studies that are taught to economic classes that include international students from throughout the world.
