Governor Pat Quinn was unable to attend but his running mate, Lieutenant Governor candidate Paul Vallas, substituted in his place. Mr. Vallas cited his experience managing the finances and budgets of major school systems, and the many large construction projects that he has overseen in his different positions, as a valuable factor. He plans to serve as a close advisor and partner to the Governor, if re-elected. Both candidates fielded questions and enjoyed interacting with the many contractors at the Forum.
The event, held at Hamburger University at the Hyatt Lodge in Oak Brook, was also co-sponsored by the Illinois Contractors Industry Committee (ICIC) and Women Construction Owners and Executives (WCOE).
