                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BRAD SHERMAN

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 15, 1998

  Mr. SHERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Mr. Ronald 
L. Scheinman, Esq. for his service as Chairman of the Board of the Los 
Angeles Jewish Home for the Aging for the past two years. President 
Kennedy said, ``Change is the law of life. And those who look only to 
the past or present are certain to miss the future.'' During his 
tenure, Ron has worked diligently with the Board of Directors and 
senior managers to reshape the Jewish Home to prepare it to meet the 
many challenges facing the health care industry.
  Under Ron's leadership, they conducted and completed a Capital 
Campaign Planning and Feasibility Study and implemented a strategic 
planning process to determine the future development of the Jewish 
Home. He recruited a new development director to enhance the 
organization's fundraising abilities. He has organizationally 
streamlined the Jewish Home by restructuring the Board of Directors, 
reducing their size, reducing the size of the executive committee and 
revising their bylaws. These important implementations have improved 
the Jewish Home's overall efficiency and effectiveness.
  Ronald Scheinman's vision for the future of the Jewish Home for the 
Aging has transformed the Home into a present-day reality that is 
providing a very important service to many of Los Angeles' Jewish 
senior citizens. Ron has helped to ensure that the Home will continue 
to provide quality care to a growing and often neglected portion of our 
population.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in honoring Mr. Ronald L. Scheinman, Esq. 
for his service to the Jewish Community as Chairman of the Board of the 
Los Angeles Jewish Home for the Aging.
