big brothers holding handsPart of the campaign to get the word out about the importance of being a big brother or big sister is public service announcements which express the importance, and fun which both the big and little brother experience from the relationship. In 2006 one such advertisement showed a young man about to play a game of chess with his little brother. Their joy encountering each other is shown in a graceful and gentle way.

Adam Roseman is on the Board of Trustees of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Los Angeles and the Inland Empire.

The PSA shows a boy, about 12 years old, and a man, throwing pebbles and small rocks into a lake while the sun is setting.  Word appears on top of the scene which says “When you are a mentor, you can go to a movie, or to the library or to a museum. But sometimes the most important thing you can do is not much at all. Be a friend, be a mentor. Just be there.”

In the news at Big Brothers, Big Sisters is the announcement that the “world renowned advertising firm” DDB created a new public service announcement on their behalf. Dubbed with the title “Angel” the PSA advertisement exists in two formats, a 30 second and 60 second length “spot.”
The ad depicts a man with white, feathery wings living his ordinary life, showering, going to work, until, at the end of the day he goes to meet a young boy with whom he is going to play basketball. The message is clear that even the most ordinary person can transform himself into an angel when he helps someone by just being there.

Adam Roseman,Dalian MeetingIn recent news from ARC China, Dalian Huayuankou Economic Zone and ARC China held a signing ceremony on February 9th to form the Liaoning Huayuankou Investment Fund (the “Fund”), which will be established through a joint investment totaling RMB 1 billion (approximately US$146 million).

This marks the creation of the first private equity fund in partnership with the local government in Dalian, a region with a population of over 6 million and one of the two biannual locations of Summer Davos.  The Fund will focus on investments in the industrial economy.

ARC China, with CEO Adam Roseman, will provide services to help with the development of Huayuankou area by helping local companies with their overseas marketing, by consulting with local companies about foreign capital markets, and by providing local companies with opportunities for international mergers and more.

ARC China, where Adam Roseman is the founder and CEO, advises that investors should shift out of companies that rely on overseas sales that should move towards those that sell products domestically.  Such advice comes as they explain that China’s export model is in need of repair.

As Adam Roseman explained in a recent interview, “The export economy model is completely broken. They are working as fast as they can to develop their domestic economy.”

ARC China recommends, instead, to invest in Chinese retailers and similar industries, and to also invest in companies that focus on energy efficiency.

China has placed a huge economic focus on their energy-saving and carbon emission-reduction projects, allocating 210 billion Yuan ($31 billion) for these purposes.

As Adam Roseman ARC China points out, “There’s tremendous pressure from the civilian level all the way to the very senior government officials to make China cleaner,” Roseman said.

chineseantern1A major earthquake occurred in the Sechuan region of China while  Adam Roseman, CEO of ARC China was visiting  on business. After seeing the devastation in the wake of the disaster Roseman vowed to do what he could to  give back to the community and  rebuild the place that had fostered his great love and appreciation for the culture and people of China.

When he returned to the United States Roseman immediately began to organize a large fundraiser to benefit the people of the  region hit by the  earthquake.  The goals of the fundraiser were to raise awareness for the ongoing relief efforts and  to provide food, water, shelter and emergency aid to the more than five million Chinese left homeless by the deadly quake.

The immensely successful “Fundraiser to Benefit the Sichuan Earthquake Province Relief Efforts” raised subsequent funds for the Red Cross Society of China Sichuan Province, a charitable organization on the front lines of the region’s restoration and relief efforts.  During Roseman’s subsequent trips to the area, he has focused heavily on giving back to the survivors in numerous ways; donating laptops and school supplies to a middle school completely demolished by the earthquake, investing in local businesses, and participating in donation ceremonies to bring attention to the area’s plight.
