Having worked during such a period of political conflict, he often had to defend some unpopular policies, especially since he served a Democrat during the war in Vietnam and a Republican during the Watergate scandal. There were two times specifically where he recalls having to defend some very unpopular policies put forth by his bosses and the president.

Lee Greif was acting as a chief of state in Washington in the early 1970’s. It was here where he met Randee, the woman who would be his first wife.

The five years Grief was in Washington as chief of state for Peter Peyser served as an important and joyful time. He would apply the skills and knowledge he learned here to all other challenges in his life.

Number 10: Announce that ANWAR is no longer off limits. Explain to the people just how little land is involved in ANWAR. Have Sara Palen take the credit for changing your mind on why we should drill in this area and how it will not hurt the environment.

As we look on the other side. You like the Democrats, the liberal candidates. According to Webster’s, these liberals are tolerant, broad-minded and favor reform or progress. Hey, what’s not to like? Now for other liberal connotations. If you favor the liberal politician, does this mean you abide by Webster’s thesaurus and give your vote to the radical, wide-awake and rational candidate?

When you also consider that the opposing parties hurl these labels like weapons and slurs against their opponents, you find that these words don’t stand up to a dictionary. No wonder it’s considered bad manners to discuss politics.

The medical community of Kansas City, Missouri received a massive jolt, starting in 1992. Menorah Medical Center, a 430 bed Jewish hospital, found itself in financial trouble. Over the five years previous to 1992, the hospital lost around $10 million. This averaged to $2 million in losses per year, a streak that needed to be stopped in order to save the hospital and those connected to it financially. In 1992, Lee Greif was elected to serve as Chairman of the Board. Mr. Grief has served on the Board of Directors for the Menorah Medical Center for over 22 years, and assumed the position after the losses had occurred.

Through the eventual sale of the Hospital, Mr. Grief started the Jewish Heritage Foundation, as a portion of the money from the sale went to the creation of the foundation. As the first chairman of the Jewish Heritage Foundation, Mr. Grief set off what is considered an incredibly successful foundation, and he continues to serve on the board today. Thanks to the sale of the hospital, the foundation was able to hand out around 100 grants to local charities in the last year alone. This was all thanks to Mr. Grief’s volunteer work and his impressive work as Chairman of the board.

The Menorah Medical Center was losing money, and there was no end in sight. The hospital wanted to continue, as it was the haven for those who wanted to be helped at a Jewish hospital. The hospital was losing that average of $2 million a year, however, and something needed to be done to correct the issue.

The bids began to pour in once it had been made public that Menorah was seeking out a partner. While many of the companies were approached by the hospital in hopes of reaching an agreement, a few bids came in without a request from the hospital. Columbia, a larger, powerhouse-type company without a hospital in the Kansas City market, came in with an unexpected and unprovoked bid. After Columbia made their bid public and sent their letter of intent, a bidding war began to unfold in a suddenly competitive Kansas City market.

The hospital was sold, and some of the money from the sale helped to fund the Jewish Heritage Foundation.

The medical field of Kansas City and the greater Kansas City Area has also felt the affects of Mr. Grief’s volunteer work. Grief was the director of one of the 13 not-for-profit hospitals that cover the greater Kansas City area. He also served as a member of an executive committee that helped set policies for the organization and the entire 13 hospital group as well.

The Learning Exchange of Greater Kansas City has also felt the volunteer work of Mr. Grief.

Lee Greif has led an interesting life due to the many careers he has had. His first major career was in politics and began in the early 1970s. He was hired as a chief of staff by Peter Peyser, a republican congressman who had recently been elected. Greif was very successful in this position and remained there for five years. He was given many responsibilities in this position, and took a lot of knowledge and experience away from it. Even though being in office curing the Watergate scandal provided its fair share of challengers, he took from this period many fond memories such as having dinner with the President in the Whitehouse. He decided to leave politics and pursue his law practice which had been a dream of his for some time.

After a brief stint helping his Father in Law run his business, Greif began his career as a Real Estate developer. He went on to develop over 1 million square feet of Industrial Real Estate, own 4 Commercial nationally franchised hotels and build and own over 1,000 residential apartments.

He found and purchased Field Force Media Services in 2003. The business deals in electronic media transfer and distribution, and interesting concept that immediately intrigued Greif.

Finally, the fourth business in which he purchased is Pro Mail Services. He bought this business in 2007. This business provides direct mail, fulfillment, and warehousing to customers nationwide. You can learn more about it here: www.Promailservices.com.

Although he spends a great deal of time on each of his many business ventures, Greif considers the most important thing in his life to be spending time with his family. His family, consisting of his wife Amy and their three children, means the world to him and he is certain to make free time to spend with them whenever possible. Lee Greif will often participate in his children’s athletic events. Whether it’s just attending their games, or even organizing and coaching them, he loves to be involved with his children’s activities.

After being class President of his class for four years in college at The University of Connecticut, and ultimately serving as Student body president, Lee Greif first entered the realm real of politics in 1971 when he was hired by Republican Congressman of New York, Peter Peyser. During this time, he served during the Watergate scandal which meant that he had to defend many sordid unpopular polices that were put into place by both his superiors and President Richard Nixon himself. Even though there were difficulties, there were many more memorable moments that Greif will always remember fondly. These include a dinner at the Whitehouse with the President of the US, top secret meetings with Secretaries Of State and Defense, and most importantly his meeting Randee, his first wife.

Even though he loved his work in politics with a passion, it had always been his dream to establish his own law practice. Ever since having received his degree in law, he had been eager to begin practicing it. However, his opportunity to enter politics could not be ignored. In 1974, the time had finally come to leave the political realm that he was so used to and move back up to his home state of Connecticut to practice law. What was to be a long and successful career in law was cut short however when his father in law unexpectedly took sick. Due to his illness he was required to have heart surgery which would require a long time to recover if he was lucky. Being thus afflicted he was in no way capable of running the family clothing business which had existed for decades.

Greif was faced with a very difficult choice, he could continue to pursue his long-awaited career as a lawyer, or he could put his dreams on hold and keep the family clothing business from going under. His conscience got the better of him and he decided to become the CEO of the family clothing business, but only on a temporary basis until his father in law had recovered to the point where he could once again take over. The business was a somewhat large chain of clothing stores that had existed since 1881 and was very well known throughout the area. Ever since it was established it had been successful and had gained notoriety throughout the area.

Lee Greif had never taken up any task before half-heartedly and found no reason to end that now. He decided to put all he had into the business so that when his father in law had finally recovered enough to regain control it would be bigger and better than ever before. Because of the long time needed to recover from the heart surgery, his father provided him with all the time he needed to enact his plans. Greif had learned a lot from college and the solid real world experience he learned from his five years in politics and he put all of this knowledge into use when he took over the business. He ran the business for a total of 4 years and by the time he was finished the chain of stores had grown from five stores to 11. He enjoyed running the business thoroughly, especially all of the people he met and relationships he built while doing so.
