As Chairman on Trade Education, Training and Research as well as Co-Chairman on Tourism, Hospitality & Cultural Exchange, Dr. Lee has initiated the idea of World Trade Center University in order to provide an opportunity for the individual World Trade Centers and their 750,000 plus affiliate corporate members to take part in a successful on-line university degree program in "e-World Trade". Recognizing the need for better travel service, pricing and accommodations for the WTCA membership, Dr. Lee is currently putting closure on a newly developed travel package, named as WTC Business Tourism, that will address the individual needs, logistical problems, scheduling and cost concerns of the more than 300 individual World Trade Centers holding membership in the World Trade Centers Association. In order to fulfill the mission of WTCA, "Peace and Stability through Trade", Dr. Lee has also been working for WTC Corps, WTC Foundation and World Cultural Assets Exchange Foundation.

Academically, he is nominated in 2009 as Vice President and a member of the committee running the new HMC Medical Academy, University of Oxford, as Foundation Fellow and member of the board of the Regents, the University of Ox ford. As part of it, in 2007 Dr. Michael Grimmit was named for the sake of Dr. Lee as David H. Lee Senior Research Fellow, University of Oxford.

Dr. Lee came to the World Trade Centers Association in 1993 from the University of California, San Diego as a professor doing Post-Doctorate work in International Relations and specializing in regional development. He received his Ph.D. (National doctorate) from Madrid National University, Spain along with the studies on the law at the Western State Univ., School of Law, Business Administration at California State Univ., Los Angeles, U.S. and the international economic cooperation at St. Anthony College, the Oxford University, England as in-resident researcher.

He has held numerous professorships worldwide such as in U.S., Japan and Europe and has published extensively both books and articles covering a wide range of topics in international economics and regional development. Dr. Lee has been awarded several scholastic and academic honors as well as a commendation from Mexico in appreciation of academic achievement for cooperation between developing and developed countries.

I. World Trade Center University By bringing together the international scope of the World Trade Centers Association, state-of-the-art technology, and proven distance learning techniques, many of the traditional barriers between people and their pursuit of higher education are eliminated. One of the major issues confronting our times is the "digital divide". Programs such as those offered by WTCU will help people all over the world to bridge that gap.

Current offerings include the Master of Business Administration from the State University of New York, the Executive Master of Hospitality Administration from the University of Nevada Las Vegas, the Doctor of Philosophy, Doctor of Strategic Leadership and Bachelor of Science from Regent University, Effective Business Writing and Online Academic Skills from Pace University, English as a Second Language courses from Columbia University and Pre-MBA courses from Harvard University. Other offerings include Import/Export certification and the web-based programs consisting of desktop, technical, professional and practical skills courses from various strategic alliances. Finally, in an effort to help solve the shortage of grade level teachers worldwide and specifically in third world countries, WTCU in conjunction with several partnering world organizations, has taken on the task of designing an online teacher education program to enable students to obtain a four-year Bachelor of Arts degree and teacher certification concurrently. WTCU is contributing to World Peace through Education.

II. WTC Corps World Trade Center Corps was organized to create an avenue of opportunity for both people of developing countries and of high-achieving business professionals. The underlying principle of WTC Corps is that if people are given the tools they need to bring about economic development in their lives, then the eradication of poverty and economic prosperity will result in people who will be less antagonistic toward each other. Extrapolated to the international scale, it has been proven in history that as countries become increasingly involved with each other on an economic level, the instances of armed conflict has decreased, resulting in peace and prosperity for its citizens.

The greatest concentration of simmering unrest and potential conflict is located in lesser developed countries. Therefore, in keeping with its commitment to establishing Peace through Trade, WTC Corps volunteers go into those regional hot spots to work with and educate entrepreneurial-minded men and women about small business development. In cooperation with WTCA and local World Trade Centers, WTC Corps gives them access to its resources and wealth of information so that they can make successful forays into international trade. In doing so, WTC Corps is also laying a foundation for the next generation to rise above their poverty to become future leaders. These leaders will realize the value of economic development and reform and will lead their countries into a time of economic prosperity and peace.

Training and community development projects are being carried out in Mexico, Honduras, Kalmikia, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Vietnam, the Balkans, China, Mongolia, Cambodia and Tanzania.

III. WTC Foundation WTCA's vision and strategy of promoting peace and stability through trade offers one of the best hopes available to improve and expand cooperation among peoples everywhere. WTC Foundation has devoted to advancing the concept that:
1. Poverty is a breeding ground for conflict;
2. Prosperity is an antidote for conflict; and
3. Poverty can be overcome and prosperity attained through education and growth in business and employment;

WTC Foundation is a worldwide charitable organization partnering with non-profit organizations, businesses, religious groups, governments, and community leaders to:
Work with the local community to identify, mentor, and develop a community leader that will lead the next generation;
Collaborate with the community to identify its financial, spiritual, social, and educational needs and provide them the tools to become self-sustaining, self-supporting, and self-reliant; and
Lay the groundwork for the community to establish spontaneously multiplying Micro Multipurpose Community Centers (MMCC).

WTC Foundation is currently financing the major projects of WTC Corps.

IV. WORLD CULTURAL ASSETS EXCHANGE FOUNDATION (W.C.A.F) WTCA recognizes that over the years, many important artifacts have been taken improperly from their original settings all over the world. In many cases, these situations have produced tensions among nations that are significant barriers to communication and peaceful relations.

The Bukwandaechuppe, for example, was originally made in Bukwan, Korea about 500 years ago to celebrate Korea's resistance to an invasion by Japan. Approximately 100 years ago, the Japanese returned to occupy Korea. In 1904, the artifact was taken from Korea by the occupying Japanese Governor and sent to the emperor in Japan. Since then, the artifact has remained in Japan where it has been the subject of the extensive negotiations by the Korea-Japan Cultural Assets Exchange Committee. This Committee asked Mr. Guy F. Tozzoli, President of WTCA, to help effectuate the release and transfer of the artifact to North Korea. As a result of several meetings by Mr. Tozzoli with representatives of North Korea, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea has agreed to accept the artifact, and the details of the transfer are finalized and executed accordingly.

Mr. Tozzoli's activities to return the valued Bukwandaechuppe artifact to North Korea have been expanded with his increased awareness that the exchange of cultural artifacts can be another very effective means of bridging the gap among nations. Therefore, Mr. Tozzoli has concluded that his work with Korea and Japan Cultural Assets Exchange Committee in connection with the Bukwandaechuppe artifact could be a useful model for similar negotiations in other parts of the world. Accordingly, he and the members of the Korea-Japan Cultural Assets Exchange Committee have led the effort to create a worldwide cultural assets exchange entity to pursue similar cultural exchange activities aimed at promoting understanding and peace in all the world's regions.

World Cultural Assets Exchange Foundation (WCAF) will identify opportunities where it can be of help and, working in close cooperation with the appropriate government and other agencies, take steps to effectuate the transfer of artifacts and other assets to their original settings. This work will not be limited to situations where there is a dispute over ownership. The W.C.A.F. will also promote the general exchange of cultural artifacts as a way of encouraging increased international understanding of the world's cultures.
