Dear John:
Happy New Year.  I am still putting in 50+ hours a week practicing law, plus related activities ... e.g., the Angel Capital Association Advisory Council; the Community Development Venture Capital Alliance; Board of Trustees, Montefiore Medical Center; lecturing, writing text books1 and articles in various media portals, including VC Experts2 and the NYSE Connect App for iPads.
Is there any way I can be of use to the current Administration ... featuring the issues on which I am best equipped intellectually and vocationally, namely focusing on job creation through small business (The JOBS Act, et al.), venture capital;3 angel capital (helped negotiate relief for angel investors from Dean Shahinian in Chris Dodd's office)?  As you know, I have experience in the last chapter of a Presidential term, having served in the last two years (1967-1968) of the Johnson  Administration as a Presidential appointee.
The commute is easy; McCarter & English is an Acela firm:  Boston, Stamford, New York, Newark, Philadelphia, Wilmington and Washington.
If you can give an email address to [email-masked]<mailto:[email-masked]> (David Garavaglia, Content Manager), the Encyclopedia of Private Equity and Venture Capital premium content is available for you and your colleagues/designees.
There are 24 hours in the day and I plan to use them all.
I am confident that, when the smoke clears, this Administration will get extraordinary high marks.  No wars; healthcare at last; excellent economic recovery ... a turnaround.  That said, "it's the economy stupid," as the saying goes.  I am, as indicated, up to my ears in emerging growth companies in the process of helping small business mature and prosper.  My CV is attached
Let me know
Best regards,
       Joe
Joseph W. Bartlett
P.S. I am hoping to get myself nominated to the SEC Advisory Committee on Small and Emerging Companies.  Any help in that regard, much appreciated.
