2012 CHC Awards Ceremony Event Program CONGRESSIONAL HUNGER CENTER Celebrate ~ Honor ~ Recognize The 2012 Congressional Hunger Center Awards Ceremony CELEBRATE ❖ HONOR ❖ RECOGNIZE ACCOMPLISHMENTS LEADERS OUR PARTNERS Thursday, June 7, 2012 U.S. Botanic Garden Fighting Hunger by Developing Leaders About The Congressional Hunger Center The Congressional Hunger Center (CHC) is a bipartisan, nonprofit organization, located in Washington, DC. We administer the Bill Emerson National Hunger Fellows Program and the Mickey Leland International Hunger Fellows Program, named in honor of these two late Congressional leaders who dedicated their careers to fighting hunger and poverty. The Fellowship programs are a unique leadership development opportunity for motivated individuals seeking to make a difference in the struggle to eliminate hunger and poverty in the U.S. and around the world. As a bipartisan organization, we serve as a center where the anti-hunger com- munity can discuss and implement creative policy solutions to end domestic and international hunger. CHC has created partnerships with Members of Congress, and Hill staff who focus on hunger and poverty, the Executive branch of govern- ment, private sector companies, foundations, and hundreds of hunger fighting organizations throughout the U.S. and around the world. Mission Statement CHC trains and inspires leaders who work to end hunger, and advocates public policies that create a food secure world. Vision Statement CHC is a leader in the movement to ensure access to food as a basic human right for all people. We create and nurture a community of innovative and inspiring leaders who act as change agents, bridging the gap between grassroots efforts and national and international public policy to provide access to nutritious, afford- able and culturally appropriate food. CHC was founded in 1993 by U.S. Representatives Tony Hall, Bill Emerson and Frank Wolf. Today Representative Jo Ann Emerson and Representative James P. McGovern are the co-chairs of CHC’s Board of Directors and exemplify our bipartisan approach to end hunger. Front Cover: Iowa corn farmer. © LincolnRogers / www.fotosearch.com Farmer in Sana, Mali.

Our distinguished honorees have been chosen for their significant contributions to fighting hunger in the United States and overseas. They exemplify the deter- mination necessary to make hunger and poverty a focal point in the U.S. Congress. We thank them for their work in the past, and know they will continue to inspire others in the ongoing fight against hunger! The CHC Alumni Leadership Award Tonight, we will present awards to alumni from each of our fellowship Marty LaVor programs who have continued to promote food security in the U.S. and around the world. We honor their outstanding accomplishments and thank them for their dedication. Past Honorees 2011 2008 • Representative Betty McCollum • Representative Rosa DeLauro • Senator Jerry Moran • Senator Tom Harkin • Representative Frank Wolf 2010 • Representative John Lewis 2005 • Senator Richard Lugar • Senator Elizabeth Dole • Dan Glickman, Former Secretary of 2009 Agriculture • Senator Robert P. Casey, Jr. • Ambassador Tony P. Hall • Senator Thad Cochran • Senator Herb Kohl • Representative Donald Payne 5 Distinguished Honorees Senator Roy Blunt Building on a background as a public servant, University president, and teacher, United States Senator Roy Blunt was elected by the people of Missouri to the United States Senate in 2010. Senator Blunt is a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee; the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee; the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence; and the Senate Rules Committee. He serves as the Ranking Republican on the Appropriations Subcommittee on Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies. Blunt is also the Ranking Republican on the Commerce Subcommittee on Competitiveness, Innovation, and Export Promotion. Less than one year after he was sworn into the U.S. Senate, Blunt was chosen by his colleagues to serve as a member of the Senate leadership as the Vice Chairman of the Senate Republican Conference. Blunt also serves as a member of the Senate Republican Whip Team. Senator Blunt works closely with Senator Herb Kohl on the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Agriculture. Together they have forged bi-partisan consensus on domestic and international agriculture and food security and nutrition programs, protecting programs that help hungry people in the U.S. and around the world. From 1996–2008, the people of Southwest Missouri overwhelmingly elected Blunt seven times to the U.S. House of Representatives. Blunt was elected by his colleagues to serve as House Majority Whip and Republican Whip three times, and he became the Majority Whip earlier in his career than any Member of Congress in eight decades. As Whip, the second highest Republican in the House, he led a team of deputies and assistants that columnist Robert Novak described as “the most efficient party whip operation in congressional history.” Before serving in Congress, he was a history teacher, a county official, and in 1984 became the first Republican elected as Missouri’s Secretary of State in more than 50 years. Senator Blunt also served four years as the president of his alma mater, Southwest Baptist University in Bolivar, Missouri. The Senator is married to Abigail Blunt and has four children: Matt Blunt, Missouri’s 54th Governor; Amy Blunt, an attorney in Kansas City, Mo.; Andy Blunt, an attorney in Jefferson City; and Charlie (age 7). Blunt has six grand- children: Davis Mosby, Ben Blunt, Branch Blunt, Eva Mosby, Allyson Blunt, and Brooks Blunt. 6 Distinguished Honorees Senator Dick Durbin Senator Dick Durbin, a Democrat from Springfield, is the 47th U.S. Senator from the State of Illinois, the state’s senior senator, and the convener of Illinois’ bipartisan congressional delegation. Durbin also serves as the Assistant Majority Leader, the second highest ranking position in the Senate. Also known as the Majority Whip, Senator Durbin has been elected to this leadership post by his Democratic colleagues every two years since 2006. In 2004, he was elected as Minority Whip. Durbin is only the fifth Illinois Senator in history to serve as a Senate leader. Elected to the U.S. Senate on November 5, 1996, and re-elected in 2002 and 2008, Durbin fills the seat left vacant by the retirement of his long-time friend and mentor, U.S. Senator Paul Simon. Durbin sits on the Senate Judiciary, Appropriations, Foreign Relations and Rules Committees. He is the Chairman of the Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Human Rights and the Appropriations Committee’s Financial Services and General Government subcommittee. Senator Durbin is a co-chair of the Senate Hunger Caucus and has worked with members of the Senate to raise awareness and recognize efforts underway in their states to combat hunger. He has collaborated with Senators Richard Lugar (R-IN), Robert P. Casey Jr. (D-PA), John Boozman (R-AR), Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and Jerry Moran (R-KS) on numerous domestic and international hunger efforts and bills. Senator Durbin was an active participant in a 16-month debate about health insurance reform. With Durbin’s help, Congress passed and the President signed into law landmark legislation to bring costs under control, extend access to affordable health insurance to those without insurance, make sure that folks have a fighting chance against insurance companies that turn them down when they need help the most, and make sure Medicare is strong for years to come. Among his other health achievements, Durbin has worked successfully for increased federal funding to prevent childhood asthma, increase immunizations and expand medical research. He has successfully fought to increase the share of federal funding dedicated to combating

    VERIZON POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS JANUARY – DECEMBER 2012 1 Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2012 A Message from Craig Silliman Verizon is affected by a wide variety of government policies ‐‐ from telecommunications regulation to taxation to health care and more ‐‐ that have an enormous impact on the business climate in which we operate. We owe it to our shareowners, employees and customers to advocate public policies that will enable us to compete fairly and freely in the marketplace. Political contributions are one way we support the democratic electoral process and participate in the policy dialogue. Our employees have established political action committees at the federal level and in 20 states. These political action committees (PACs) allow employees to pool their resources to support candidates for office who generally support the public policies our employees advocate. This report lists all PAC contributions, corporate political contributions, support for ballot initiatives and independent expenditures made by Verizon in 2012. The contribution process is overseen by the Corporate Governance and Policy Committee of our Board of Directors, which receives a comprehensive report and briefing on these activities at least annually. We intend to update this voluntary disclosure twice a year and publish it on our corporate website. We believe this transparency with respect to our political spending is in keeping with our commitment to good corporate governance and a further sign of our responsiveness to the interests of our shareowners.
