Her aim is to help them achieve worklife balance and overcome internal obstacles that keep them from living their lives with purpose and achieving business success.

She broke through the stigmatized idea that only men can be prime ministers in India, and her morals and values stood strong in everything she accomplished. She paved the way for women all over the world to lead within their own beliefs and values. My favorite quote of hers is “Have a bias toward action — let’s see something happen now. You can break that big plan into small steps and take the first step right away.” What is something that people might not know about you? When I was 7 years old, I lost my voice. I saw multiple doctors and finally was told I had a nodule on one of my vocal cords and that I’d need to wait until I was 16 to have it removed surgically. I spent years in speech therapy to try to find my voice. I was made fun of. After years of speech therapy, we found my voice. It’s not the voice that I was born with, but finally no more whisper voice. The nodule is still there and I have over the years embraced who I am and have gone from a timid girl who was nervous about speaking in front of a crowd to becoming a paid public speaker inspiring others from the stage. At 16, I went back to the doctor and declined the surgery. I said my voice is what has made me who I am and I wouldn’t change it for the world.

Post-Faraday, North Las Vegas relies on rapid industrial growth By adam candee Staff Writer

Beset by damaging economic news in recent weeks, North Las Vegas can find comfort in its continuing industrial real estate boom. The announcement by embattled carmaker Faraday Future that it would halt plans to build a 3.4-million-square-foot manufacturing plant at Apex Industrial Park dealt a significant blow to economic development plans. City officials recruited Faraday to North Las Vegas and shepherded legislation at the state level to attract the company, whose economic troubles prompted the step back. Officials expected Faraday to attract suppliers and parts-makers for its cars to Apex, helping to secure needed infrastructure improvements at the site. Donna S. Alderson of real estate brokerage firm CBRE said many of those companies investigated Apex but were waiting until Faraday committed to do so themselves.

“They looked, but they didn’t pull the trigger,” Alderson said. The city still can rely on burgeoning growth in industrial real estate led by e-commerce companies’ need for warehousing space. A recent report compiled by CBRE shows nearly 2 million square feet of net absorption in the industrial sector in North Las Vegas through July, with more than 3 million additional square feet under construction. The latter figure represents roughly two-thirds of current industrial construction in Southern Nevada. Despite that prodigious construction rate, few industrial buildings in the city sit empty. The vacancy rate in North Las Vegas stands at 4.3 percent, right in line with the average for the Las Vegas Valley. “With millions of square feet of warehousing and logistics operations already online and millions more square feet under construction, North Las Vegas has become the ecommerce capital of the southwestern

United States and an economic driver that’s diversifying the state economy and putting thousands of Southern Nevadans to work,” North Las Vegas spokeswoman Delen Goldberg said. Amazon, Walmart, Fanatics, Bed Bath & Beyond and The Honest Company are some of the largest companies with warehousing space in Southern Nevada. The North Las Vegas area in particular attracts companies with the lowest asking lease rates in the valley at an average of 45 cents per square foot per month. Convenient access to Interstate 15 from California, where three deep-water ports sit within a day’s drive, also works in the city’s favor. Most of the new industrial growth in the city can be seen from the freeway. Growth in North Las Vegas and throughout the valley eventually could reach a stasis point as the e-commerce trend evens out, but analysts do not expect that to happen in the near future. David Egan, CBRE’s head of in-

dustrial and logistics research for the Americas, said at the national level, demand for space has outpaced supply for at least six years. “We actually could use a little bit of a slowdown,” Egan said. CBRE Executive Vice President Kevin J. Higgins cited Phoenix, Salt Lake City, Reno and the Inland Empire area of Southern California as primary competitors for warehousing business. The average industrial build is roughly 300,000 square feet, and up to 90 percent of the construction is speculative. Most developers have no trouble finding lessors in this hot market, though — 65 to 70 percent of the new space being built is absorbed before the building is complete, Higgins said. Higgins also pointed to the restart of the Resorts World development on the Strip and the upcoming Raiders stadium project as drivers of a need for more midsized warehousing space in Southern Nevada.

Where were you when you received your 40 Under 40 award? My first job was Dad, but I also was working as an attorney for Snell & Wilmer.

Senate Majority Leader, Nevada State Senate – District 11

Director of Advertising/PR/Social Media at Silverton Casino Hotel

Where are you now? My first job is still Dad, but I also serve as the major-

ity leader of the state Senate and am working as an attorney at Eglet Prince.

My goal is to make sure all Nevadans have economic opportunities to get ahead and stay ahead. Nevada needs leaders who will look out for the little guy, and I want to be that leader. What’s the best local spot for a lunch meeting? Nevada has some of the best restaurants in the world, but if I have to choose, I’d say La Comida.

If you ran Las Vegas, what’s the first thing you would do? I know what it’s like to not feel safe in your neighborhood, and no one should have to experience that.

create positive experiences and believe in uplifting one another through their business, like Katrina Scott and Karena Dawn, the co-founders of Tone It Up. Building a multimillion-dollar business with a community of women worldwide is proof that you can love what you do and create change one person at a time.

If you ran Las Vegas, what’s the first thing you would do? I would impose a fee for using single-use plastic bags in order to reduce the use of carryout plastic bags from grocery stores and other retail outlets. By modifying consumer behavior, we could decrease the amount of plastic bag usage, relieve pressure on landfills and mitigate harmful effects on oceans, lakes and wildlife.

‘You offer free tuition the first several years, get coteries of strong medical students, and they build your reputation’ nuanced lives inside those ZIP codes. This is the charter class of the UNLV School of Medicine, the chosen 60 of 909 atkinson applicants whose graduate studies began July 17. The dean of the school, Dr. Barbara Atkinson, and her faculty trumpet its diversity (31 are women; 13 are Asian, 11 Hispanic, five black) and intellect — their combined Medical College Admission Test scores rate higher than the national average. A diminutive 74-year-old, Atkinson believes the immersion of those apprentices into local environments will entice them to become fixtures themselves (Atkinson was interviewed for this story before her recent illness and emergency surgery; she is expected to have an extended convalescence.). In 2020, the school hopes to welcome 120 students; it plans to quadruple that figure by 2030. How the influx of medical professionals will affect Las Vegas is as compelling as the forces that shifted the school from fiction to fruition. The abysmal state of the valley’s health services industry — in the bottom 10th percentile of nearly every credible national ranking — demanded an organic endeavor that, for decades, had been snuffed by caustic elements. Where do you go for quality medical care in Las Vegas? The airport. A small army of furious denizens aimed to eradicate the quip that long ago became rote to natives and longtime residents. nnn UNLV’s nascent program is housed

temporarily at its Shadow Lane campus. Across from a secondfloor classroom is a stylish theater. In the anatomy lab at the end of alamo a hall, six large $100,000 Sectra computer screens display virtual cadavers in minute detail. This, according to Atkinson, is the country’s lone med school that does not contain a single physical corpse with which to study the human body. Dr. Jeffrey Fahl, a professor of pediatrics and chairman of the anatomy program, guides a small group of visiting academics through a tutorial. On a screen, he flips over the image of a cadaver, a former Texas inmate who donated his body to science, from backside-down to frontside-down with the flick of a fingertip. You couldn’t do that so easily, Fahl boasts, with the real thing. A woman inquires about the location of the piriformis — pelvic muscles and tendons. She once injured hers training for a triathlon. Painful, she says. “Months of rehab.” Several fingertip taps by Fahl and, voilà, the delicate tissues appear in glorious magenta. Immediately north of this structure, a condemned building has been razed to make way for a sleek headquarters at 625 Shadow Lane. The county donated the property only after Green Valley-based physician Tony Alamo urged Clark County Commission Chairman Steve Sisolak and UNLV President Len Jessup to finally consummate the deal. Atkinson expects ground to be broken by the end of the year. A Las Vegas

Medical District, buoyed by the UNLV School of Medicine, is projected to have an annual economic impact of $3.6 billion, with the lang creation of more than 24,000 permanent jobs, by 2030. The British Medical Journal reported that the city would receive $12 in benefits per invested dollar. The eventual boost in quantity and quality of doctors will be dramatic, says Alamo, chairman of the Nevada Gaming Commission and former head of the Nevada Athletic Commission. The UNR School of Medicine started in 1969 and established subsidiary, and substandard, operations in Las Vegas. “Politics,” Alamo says of why UNLV had never had a namesake med school. “It had to do with money, direction and control.” Shameful, says UNLV professor Robert Lang. At Virginia Tech, he was an advocate for a medical school in Roanoke, Va., to serve a population of 800,000 in the southwestern part of the state. “Roanoke had a medical school before Las Vegas — Roanoke. … We’re the first city in the U.S. to have an Ikea and not a med school; you get an Ikea when (population hits) 2 million, by the way.” nnn Lang is no ordinary instructor. He is executive director of both the Lincy Institute and Brookings Mountain West, and an expert on urban growth, economic development and population dynamics. He’s a tenured UNLV professor at the Greenspun College of Urban Af-

fairs, so short of bopping a colleague in the nose, he’s untouchable. That shield would serve him well in jousts with many doubrava northern factions resolute against a UNLV School of Medicine and southerners with northern loyalties, who would rebuke Lang and threaten his job. Catalysts include eye doctor Mark Doubrava, Las Vegas Sun publisher Brian Greenspun (who also produces VEGAS INC), Las Vegas Metro Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Kristin McMillan, Fulfillment Fund Las Vegas CEO Lindy Schumacher, Gov. Brian Sandoval, Sisolak, Jessup and Alamo. Lang, however, is a bull. He’s 58, Rutgers University-educated and a fast talker certain of every word. Greenspun and Schumacher, among others, coaxed Lang to leave a prominent post at Virginia Tech for UNLV in January 2010. His $196,000 base salary is split between the state and the Lincy Endowment fund at UNLV. Brookings and other entitities were commissioned to compose a comprehensive statewide economic study, only three of whose 178 pages described the dearth of health services in Las Vegas, that was completed in 2011. To get more specific about health, Lincy tapped Tripp Umbach to detail the manifold benefits of a UNLV School of Medicine in a 2013 report; UNR’s statewide economic impact of $285M ranked lowest of the country’s 134 med schools. As a Nevada System of Higher Education Regent, Doubrava deftly used Continued on page 15

m e dical school , from page 10

The first class of 60 UNLV medical school students received full scholarships, and the school plans to have 480 students by 2030. (artist’s rendering/courtesy)

both analyses to curry influence. The state’s ancient north-south enmity was always present. In the summer of 2013, Lang and Doubrava half erupted when they discovered a 20-year moratorium on new professional schools in Nevada passed by the Board of Regents in 2005. Humiliating, Lang says. Doubrava helped rescind the rule in December 2013. A mild-mannered retina-transplant specialist, Doubrava had made a UNLV School of Medicine his compulsion. Alamo says Doubrava “went to war.” Lang likens Doubrava to the actor Henry Fonda in the 1957 film “12 Angry Men.” As Juror 8, Fonda is the lone rational figure who convinces, one by one, 11 detractors to agree that a young murder suspect is being railroaded. Doubrava, 54, was not so pragmatic when Dr. Thomas Schwenk, the dean at UNR’s med school, tried to keep Las Vegas as a Reno satellite by pitching a $220 million, 280,000-square-foot medical academic center, requiring UNLV to finance a building bearing a UNR banner. It was another example of Reno browbeating Las Vegas, Doubrava said publicly. Today, he says, “Appeasement, diversion … they had no intention of doing that. I’m like, ‘You’ve had 35 years and you haven’t invested (significantly, in Southern

Nevada) yet.’ ” Schwenk believes he was following consensus. “I’m sorry he felt that way … I had not heard (Doubrava) say that. I’m sorry if that’s what he thought.” nnn UNLV’s brain trust has followed a model that is paying dividends for the University of Central Florida College of Medicine, established in Orlando in 2006. Providing free education to its inaugural class, and 25 endowments for the next three, was borrowed from UCF med school Dean Deborah C. German’s syllabus. “You offer free tuition the first several years,” Lang says, “get coteries of strong medical students, and they build your reputation.” In 2011, UCF attained Carnegie Research/ Very High designation, the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching’s confirmation of extensive, rigorous research and innovations that stimulate entrepreneurship, job creation and economic vitality. Carnegie’s Tier One status, moreover, lures tens of millions in federal grants. That is Atkinson’s goal for UNLV, and Lang predicts it could happen late in the next decade or the early 2030s. The ramifications of such prestige, coupled with the imminent construction of a $1.9 bil-

lion domed stadium for the National Football League’s Raiders, could reap further prestige, benefits and funds, for Las Vegas and UNLV. Academic résumés are prized when top-tier athletic leagues — like the Big Ten or Pac-12, elite Power 5 conferences — seek to expand. That led to Rutgers and Maryland joining the Big Ten, and Colorado and Utah (a former UNLV associate in the midmajor Mountain West Conference, becoming members of the Pac-12. “The first thing the Big Ten did was review Rutgers and Maryland as research universities, and both were top-25 public institutions,” Lang says. “The Big Ten wrote this press release (saying), ‘Rutgers and Maryland are powerhouses, academically.’ It excuses the fact that they’re going to be (sporting) doormats to these other schools — ‘Welcome, we’re about to beat your ass in athletics.’ ” nnn By most accounts, Atkinson has been worth every penny of her halfmillion-dollar salary. Regent Trevor Hayes has disparaged her for having not yet delivered a nine-figure donor. But I’ll take 100 donors, says Doubrava, kicking in a million apiece. Nearly $14 million was raised, rapidly, for those 135 scholarships. The state matched a recent $25 million

anonymous donation and earmarked more than $50 million to the school over the next two fiscal years. In the 2015 Legislature, Senate Majority Leader Michael Roberson fashioned a tax on taxi and ride-hailing companies such as Uber for the school’s initial $27 million funding. Lang anticipates Fortune 500 companies Las Vegas Sands, Wynn Resorts, MGM Resorts International and Caesars Entertainment will “make big plays.” He forecasts private donations to hit the $100 million mark over the next year. “In its first year of operation, it will be a bigger magnet for philanthropic support than the entire (48-year) history of UNR’s med school. At this point, there’s so much support for it, it’s nested.” A month ago, Lang visited Rice University in Texas and marveled at researchers growing hearts in a sixthfloor lab. It may be a long shot to envision someone from this charter class one day conducting similar research at the UNLV School of Medicine. Then again, just the idea of such a school has always faced long odds. “But this is now,” Alamo said. “These legislators and this current governor had the vision and the wisdom to right a wrong. This will take time, and that time will be measured in decades.”
