Shelly is currently involved in numerous business and charitable activities, including new business ventures in Japan, charitable work in Los Angeles, and lecturing on entrepreneurship at the University of California Riverside/Palm Desert Campus. Shelly Saltman with his friend entertainment giant David Salzman of David Salzman Entertainment helped to put together the Tour of California, a 700-mile bike race through scenic California. Shelly and David both sit on the Board of the race. Cycling enthusiast Dan Medford and public relations expert Stuart Rowlands have also been instrumental, along with others, in developing the race concept and making it a reality. The race is a new annual event that Sports Travel Magazine hailed as the most exciting new event of 2006! The winner of the first Amgen Tour of California was Floyd Landis, who also went on to win the Tour de France in 2006.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or projects:
“Beneath the azure current floweth;
Above, the golden sunlight glows.
Rebellious, the storm it wooeth,
As if the storms could give repose.”
—Mikhail Lermontov (1814–1841)
“One of the things that is most striking about the young generation is that they never talk about their own futures, there are no futures for this generation, not any of them and so naturally they never think of them. It is very striking, they do not live in the present they just live, as well as they can, and they do not plan. It is extraordinary that whole populations have no projects for a future, none at all.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
