Jerry Hultin was a Navy Officer from 1964 – 1969 and is a Vietnam Veteran. He then attended Yale Law School, where he was classmates with Bill and Hillary Clinton, future Senator Richard Blumenthal and future Secretary of Labor Robert Reich. Under Secretary of the Navy, Mr. Hultin led the Department of the Navy’s Revolution in Business Affairs, which sought to apply business techniques to the United State Navy and the United States Marine Corps. His current work supports the use of 21st-century technology to create smart communities and improve the quality of life of citizens around the world.

Ideas

Keep helping Ukraine

In addition to the titles above, Jerry Hultin is also Chair and Co-Founder, Global Futures Group, LLC. The organization is coordinating donations of supplies, services, and funds for the people of Ukraine. Mr. Hultin is gaining refugee assistance insights from ALN Supporter Nathaniel Sanders, Deputy District Attorney at Salt Lake County District Attorney’s Office. Sanders received more than $7,000 from ALN supporters while he was bringing people and supplies across the border of Poland and Ukraine in July 2022. Mr. Hultin understands the role of leadership in government, institutional, and private organizations. Like the ALN, he supports advocating a structured approach to asset management as a path to dramatic benefits. We will also provide ongoing assistance to activities to benefit Ukraine. Consider offering funds or services to assist the people of Ukraine with asset management services or funds.

Mr. Nelson co-authored the ALN Co-published paper Assisting Ukraine by planning for post-war reconstruction.

Votes as Assets

In a democracy, it can be considered that the most important asset is each individuals’ vote. The Washington Post has a fascinating, interactive article on the use of algorithms to compute congressional districts in a way that can be transparently fair. Without getting into party politics, the article outlines the way human invention can help overcome human instincts to help establish the more perfect union we all seek. See the article at this link. And let us know if you think asset management principles can be applied to votes as assets at info@AssetLeadership.net.
