Attorney Lee Levine and Stockton President Harvey Kesselman.
ATLANTIC CITY – Atlantic City attorney Lee Levine of Levine Staller Sklar Chan & Brown, P.A. was honored for his support of the fight against terrorism at the Building Resilience in the New Threat Paradigm Summit on faith-based terrorism held at Stockton University June 11-12.
Stockton President Harvey Kesselman said Levine, who helped fund the international summit, was integral in developing a successful event and generating interest in future programs.
“When we met with Lee and Bill (Gormley), he was all in to being part of it,” Kesselman said.
“You are a very real human being who cares,” he told Levine. “This would not have happened without your generosity.”
Kesselman also thanked Gormley for his role in bringing the conference to Atlantic City.
Levine said he had told Gormley that he wanted to do something in philanthropy, and when the former state senator told him about the conference, he knew that’s what he wanted to support.
“The light went on,” he said. “What this project wants to do is eliminate genocide when it’s happening.”
Levine also spoke at the opening of the conference, saying he hoped the gathering could help reduce prejudice and eliminate genocide.
“As long as it exists, we need to prepare law enforcement and others to minimize the impact,” Levine said.
The international summit was sponsored by the Miller Center for Community Protection and Resilience at Rutgers, the Rutgers Center for Critical Intelligence Studies and Stockton University in partnership with the New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness.
Presenting sponsors of the reception, which will help fund future programs, include ACDevco, Calvi Electric, William and Virginia Gormley, and Levine Staller Attorneys at Law. Gold Sponsors were John F. Scarpa and Atlantic City Electric, an Exelon Company. Thomas and Peg Sykes were Silver Sponsors. AtlantiCare was a Bronze Sponsor.
Community partners were Howard and Margaret Goldberg, Jonathan and Michael Goldberg, The Charles and Lynn Kramer Family Foundation, Ken and Sandi Mackler, Steve & Cookie’s By the Bay, and Steven and Barbara Perskie.
