Diversity Day 2009 is proud to welcome an Assistant Executive Director—Maureen Buchanan. Executive Director Patrick Murfin is the first to acknowledge that the appointment could be considered nepotism—if there was any money involved. Maureen is Patrick’s daughter.
Mrs. Buchanan recently lost her job as a retail store manager when the shop was closed by the parent company. So she knows all about the current tough times—and about the need to stick together through them.
Maureen grew up in McHenry County and was in the first graduating class of Prairie Ridge High School. She attended Northern Illinois University where she was a featured columnist in the Northern Star. She transferred to Columbia College in Chicago where she majored in magazine writing and interned at Chicago Magazine.
In addition to working in retail, Maureen has been a customer service representative and an optical shop technician.
While she looks for work, she is happy to help out the old man and perform useful community service. She will also be working on a book manuscript and some “self-improvement” projects.
Maureen is highly energetic, creative, and a natural leader—OK, some folks call it bossy. She will be involved in every aspect of planning and producing the festival. She is already bringing fresh eyes and ideas to the project.
Welcome aboard, Maureen.
