AJC Decorates Decker
More than 320 people paid tribute to industrialist Dwight Decker, honored by the American Jewish Committee (AJC) with the 2004 national human relations award.
The June 30 event in Newport Beach was a record fundraiser for the local AJC chapter, attributed to the record support organized by Decker, chairman of Newport Beach-based Conexant Systems Inc., which makes communication devices.
The tribute was presented by Ralph Cicerone, UC Irvine’s chancellor. Other well-known guests attending included Rep. Loretta Sanchez (D-Garden Grove); Assemblywoman Lynn Daucher (R-Brea); Scott Baugh, local Republican Party chair; and Bishop Jaime Soto of the Diocese of Orange. The keynote speaker was a former county supervisor, Gaddie Vasquez, now director of the U.S. Peace Corps.
Decker, who serves on the boards of the Discovery Science Center and KOCE-TV Foundation, is also a board member of UC Irvine’s executive roundtable, its school of management and the Beall Center for Art and Technology.
