Program: September 7 - Governor Pat Quinn
 Pat
Quinn was sworn in as Illinois' 41st Governor in
January 2009, marking more than a quarter of a century of service to
the state - both as a citizen and a public official.
Governor
Quinn served as State Treasurer from 1991 through 1995. His Linked
Deposit program helped more than 25,000 Illinois families and
businesses obtain $2 billion in bank loans to support affordable
housing, small business expansion and agriculture. In 1983, Quinn
launched the drive to create the Citizens Utility Board, an
organization that supports safe, reliable and affordable utility
service. In 1976, Governor Quinn led the largest petition drive in
state history, ending the century-old practice of allowing Illinois
legislators to collect their entire salary on their first day in
office.
As
Governor, Quinn has focused on restoring ethics to state government.
Since taking office he has passed a constitutional amendment to allow
recall of a Governor and signed into law the first ever limits on
campaign contributions in Illinois.
Another
top priority, job creation, led to passage of Illinois Jobs Now! -
the state’s first capital plan in over a decade. The plan will
invest $31 billion in Illinois’ economy, creating and retaining
more than 439,000 jobs over six years.
Governor
Quinn is an advocate for consumers, taxpayers, service members and
their families. He has spearheaded countless initiatives that foster
a cleaner environment and encourage economic development in historic
business districts and rural communities. Governor Quinn has rallied
residents to support the Illinois Military Family Relief Fund, which
he created in 2003 to support our service members and veterans.
Born
in Hinsdale, Quinn is a graduate of Fenwick High School, Georgetown
University School of Foreign Service and Northwestern University
School of Law.

September 14 - Carol Marin and Mary Ann Ahern: NBC5
Luncheon Program: NBC 5 Carol Marin and Mary Ann Ahern - 9/14/2010
Carol Marin began her career in Chicago in 1978 as an anchor and reporter for WMAQ-TV, where her hard-hitting journalism focused on investigations of political and judicial corruption, organized crime, and the government.
 By 1997, with a George Foster Peabody award, National Emmy award, an Alfred I. duPont Columbia University award, and a National UPI Reporter of the Year award, Marin joined the WBBM-TV news team as one of the city's leading journalists.
As a correspondent for CBS News from 1997-2002, Marin worked on 60 Minutes, 60 Minutes II, The CBS Evening News with Dan Rather, and 48 Hours before departing in 2003 to become a columnist for the Chicago Tribune.
In 2004, Marin joined NBC5 as an investigative reporter and is currently a political columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times. She also co-directs the DePaul Documentary Project and is President and CEO of her production company, Marin Corp Productions.
Mary Ann Bergerson Ahern joined the NBC5 Chicago news team in March 1989, as a ge neral assignment reporter after serving as the political reporter for WXIA-TV, the Gannett-owned station in Atlanta, Georgia, from 1985 to 1989. She served as Reporter/Weekend Anchor at WEEK-TV in Peoria, Illinois from 1982 to 1985.
Over the years, Ahern has become best known for covering stories about religious issues. She followed Cardinal Bernardin’s final years extensively as well as the selection of the next archbishop, Francis Cardinal George. She traveled to Rome with Cardinal George in June 1997, his first trip representing Chicago, and returned to Rome in February of 1998 for his elevation to the College of Cardinals.
She covered Pope John Paul II on five of his Papal trips, including New York, Denver, South Carolina, St. Louis and Cuba. In Cuba, Ahern was one of the few American journalists allowed to report from Havana.
While at NBC5, Ahern has covered breaking news and everyday events from elections to snowstorms, from City Hall to Wrigley Field. She has filed reports from the Democratic National Convention and reported on Princess Diana’s visit to Chicago, as well as the Bulls championship seasons and the White House. And she has filed special reports on parenting issues and the troubling delays in the airline industry.
