Past Educational Speakers
Executive Series Luncheon Speakers
The Traffic Club of Chicago continually strives to present quality programs to its members. One example is our highly successful Executive Luncheon Series which began in 1989 and continues today. This program presents senior executives from the transportation and logistics community, who are invited to speak and present their views on timely and topical issues that affect our ever changing industry. Listed below are just some of our past speakers.
