He led Servite to the 1982 California Interscholastic Federation Southern Section Big Five football championship where he was named player of the year. Steve was also an All -CIF basketball player.  In his first football game of that 1982 season\, Beuerlein played against Ohio's famed Moeller High School. His performan ce caught the eye of Notre Dame head coach Gerry Faust\, who had coached at Moeller prior to taking the Notre Dame job. After Servite went on to win its final eleven games\, Faust offered Beuerlein a scholarship to play football in South Bend.\n\nBeuerlein attended Notre Dame in 1983 and was a 4-year starter. He played his last year at Notre Dame under legendary Co ach Lou Holtz who credits Steve’s senior year team with providing the le adership and example that set the tone for Notre Dame’s 1988 National Ch ampionship. Steve holds the distinction of being one of only two quarterba cks in school history to lead Notre Dame to victory over rival USC four co nsecutive years.\n\nBeuerlein was drafted by the Los Angeles Raiders in th e fourth round of the 1987 NFL Draft. He played four years with the Raider s then was traded to the Dallas Cowboys before the 1991 season. That year\ , Beuerlein stepped in for an injured Troy Aikman and led the Cowboys to f ive straight wins including their first playoff victory in nine years. The following season with Aikman healthy again\, the Cowboys won Super Bowl X XVII. Head Coach Jimmy Johnson credited Beuerlein with playing a key role in helping the Cowboys reestablish a championship mentality.\n\nHe next pl ayed for the Arizona Cardinals\, passing for his first of three\, 3\,000-y ard seasons. In 1995\, he was the first pick in the NFL Expansion Draft by the Jacksonville Jaguars. In 1996\, he was acquired by the Carolina Panth ers where he remained for five years. Beuerlein holds many Panthers passin g records. Most of these include single-season records set during 1999 for passing yards (4\,436)\, touchdowns (36)\, attempts (571)\, and completio ns (343). He was named to the Pro Bowl that year. Beuerlein finished his c areer with the Denver Broncos playing in twelve games during 2002 and 2003 .\n\nAfter his 17th season in the NFL and at the age of 39\, Beuerlein ret ired as a Carolina Panther. For his career\, Beuerlein started 102 games\, threw for than 24\,000 career passing yards and 147 touchdown passes. In 2004\, Beuerlein joined CBS Sports as a game analyst for The NFL on CBS wh ere he provided color commentary. Beuerlein now calls college football gam es on the radio for Compass Media.\n\nBeuerlein resides in Orange County\, California where he works as a commercial insurance broker with Marsh.

Johnson is the Chief Executive Officer of the Orange County Tran sportation Authority\, leading an agency of 1\,500 employees responsible f or delivering projects\, programs and services that improve mobility for t he more than 3 million residents of Orange County.\n\nUnder the direction of OCTA’s 17-member Board of Directors\, Johnson is responsible for a $1 .4 billion annual budget and implementing the planning\, financing and coo rdinating of Orange County's freeway\, street and rail development as well as managing countywide bus services\, commuter-rail services\, paratransi t service and operation of the 91 Express Lanes.\n\nSince becoming CEO in early 2013\, Johnson has focused on the early delivery of projects through Measure M – Orange County’s voter-approved half-cent sales tax for tr ansportation improvements. Expediting the Measure M plan will result in mo re than $5 billion of freeway projects completed or under way years ahead of schedule\, with an additional $1.4 billion ready to begin construction. \n\nIn addition to capital project delivery\, Johnson has placed an emphas is on enhancing the efficiency and safety of OCTA bus and Metrolink commut er-rail operations that serve more than 1 million passengers each week. On e of his first actions as CEO was to request a Safety Peer Review from the American Public Transportation Association.\n\nOCTA’s first limited-sto p bus service was launched last year with ridership surpassing initial pro jections. Ridership continues to climb on bus and Metrolink service to spe cial events in the county and region\, including the Angels Express trains to baseball games and OC Fair Express bus service.\n\nUnder Johnson’s l eadership\, OCTA was named the managing agency of the Los Angeles-San Dieg o-San Luis Obispo (LOSSAN) Amtrak service. The 351-mile LOSSAN corridor ru nning through a six-county coastal region in Southern California is the se cond-busiest intercity passenger rail corridor in the United States. OCTA has worked with partner agencies to transfer administrative responsibility for state-funded Amtrak Pacific Surfliner service from Caltrans to a new\ , locally governed Joint Powers Authority. This action is the first step i n an effort to integrate rail services to better meet community and custom er needs.\n\nAs Johnson leads the effort to enhance all modes of transport ation for the residents\, businesses and tourists of Orange County\, he ha s done so with an emphasis on keeping OCTA a financially sound agency that safeguards taxpayer dollars. Johnson implemented a pension-reform plan th at will save Orange County taxpayers $85 million during the next 20 years. A new contract for ACCESS paratransit service was executed resulting in a $46 million savings. A refinancing of the 91 Express Lanes debt resulted in a savings of more than $26 million over the next two decades and the le ase for OCTA Headquarters was renegotiated to save $40 million during the next 30 years.\n\nJohnson is responsible for developing and implementing s hort-range and long-range goals and business plans to support the successf ul implementation of the agency’s strategic vision. He represents OCTA o n local\, state and national issues related to transportation programs and policies and in 2012 he was elected to serve on the Board of Directors of the American Public Transportation Association. He completed the Senior E xecutives in State and Local Government Program at the Harvard Kennedy Sch ool of Government.\n\nPrior to joining OCTA\, Johnson worked at Amtrak for 12 years\, where he held positions in operations\, planning\, and finance and contributed to the development of passenger rail corridors in Califor nia\, Oregon\, Washington and British Columbia.\n\nJohnson lives in Rancho Santa Margarita with his wife and two daughters.[/vc_column_text][/vc_col umn][/vc_row][vc_row disable_element="yes"][vc_column][vc_column_text]\nBr eakfast treats will be provided.\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][v c_row disable_element="yes"][vc_column][vc_column_text]\nDiscussion topics will include:\n• USMCA\n• Tariffs\n• Infrastructure\n• Immigratio n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row] ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.newportbeach.com/wp-content/uploads/ 2023/08/WakeUpNewport-September7-2023-OCTA-Johnson-2023-300.jpg CATEGORIES:Chamber Events,Featured LOCATION:Newport Beach Public Library (Friends Room)\, 1000 Avocado Ave.\, Newport Beach\, CA\, 92660\, United States GEO:33.6078202;-117.87315109999997 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=1000 Avocado Ave.\, Newport Beach\, CA\, 92660\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Newport Bea ch Public Library (Friends Room):geo:33.6078202,-117.87315109999997 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:1971@newportbeach.com DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230912T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230912T200000 DTSTAMP:20230817T163958Z URL:https://www.newportbeach.com/events/september-navigate-pelican-hill-re sort-putting-competition/ SUMMARY:September NAVIGATE: Pelican Hill Resort Putting Competition DESCRIPTION:[vc_row full_width="stretch_row"][vc_column][vc_single_image im age="619472" img_size="full" alignment="center"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_r ow disable_element="yes"][vc_column][vc_column_text css=".vc_custom_150758 7280077{border-top-width: 1px !important\;border-top-style: dotted !import ant\;border-radius: 1px !important\;}"]TRICKS OF MIX\n\nThe fine art of mi xology\n\n Looking to master the perfect cocktail?\n Come learn from a p rofessional mixologist on what goes into the perfect pour.\n Compete to c reate the most flavorful libation.\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_separator][vc_c olumn_text]\nSPONSORS\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row disab le_element="yes"][vc_column][vc_column_text]\nThank You to Our Sponsor\n[/ vc_column_text][vc_single_image image="547998" img_size="medium" alignment ="center"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row disable_element="yes"][vc_column wi dth="1/2"][vc_column_text]\nThank you to our food sponsor\n[/vc_column_tex t][vc_single_image image="405187" img_size="medium"][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/2"][vc_single_image image="405188" img_size="medium"][/vc_column ][/vc_row][vc_row disable_element="yes"][vc_column][vc_media_grid element_ width="3" grid_id="vc_gid:1692290313882-a3c72865-3ade-2" include="402125\, 402126\,402127\,402128\,402130\,402131\,402134"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_r ow][vc_column][gravityform id="212" title="false" description="false" ajax ="false"][/vc_column][/vc_row] ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.newportbeach.com/wp-content/uploads/ 2022/08/Navigate-Sept14-2022-PelicanHill-300x300-1.jpg CATEGORIES:Chamber Events,Featured LOCATION:Pelican Hill Golf Club\, 22800 S.

With more than 25 years in education\, he is known for build ing genuine connections and leading with heart.\n\nAs superintendent\, Dr. Bean leads the Orange County Department of Education\, which provides dir ect instruction to the county’s most vulnerable students and critical su pport to 28 local school districts and more than 40 charter schools servin g hundreds of thousands of learners. Under his leadership\, OCDE’s work is anchored in the 5-3-1 Strategic Plan\, emphasizing student success\, se rvice excellence and shared leadership.\n\nPrior to his unanimous appointm ent in June 2024 as the 12th superintendent of schools for Orange County\, Dr. Bean served as executive director of the Irvine International Academy . Before that\, he spent nearly 12 years with Aspire Public Schools in Los Angeles\, where he rose from principal to superintendent and oversaw 11 c ampuses spanning transitional kindergarten through 12th grade\n\nDr. Bean draws strength and perspective from his own journey as an English learner and a student with a disability. Those early experiences shaped a career d edicated to supporting marginalized students and fostering inclusive\, col laborative environments where every voice is heard.\n\nHis approach is roo ted in the framework he calls LIFTED — an acronym for listen and learn\, inspire potential\, foster authenticity\, transform through hope\, empowe r through strength and develop others.\n\nBorn in Saigon in 1971 as Nam Le Thanh\, Dr. Bean overcame extraordinary early challenges. Stricken by pol io and abandoned at age 2\, he was brought to the United States as part of Operation Babylift during the Vietnam War. At age 4\, he entered the U.S. foster care system and was later adopted by the Bean family\, who provide d the love and stability that helped shape his future.\n\nDespite ongoing medical issues and early struggles in school\, Dr. Bean immersed himself i n sports and student leadership. He served as an umpire for neighborhood b aseball games\, joined student council\, and discovered a passion for publ ic speaking. By sixth grade\, he was a straight-A student who was elected class president and invited to Washington\, D.C.\, to deliver a speech on behalf of children with disabilities. His dedication and determination lat er earned him a full scholarship to the University of Southern California. \n\nDuring his college years\, Dr. Bean met Janet Soares\, whom he married in 2000. They raised four children and were deeply involved in work and m inistry. Dr. Bean credits Janet\, who tragically passed away in 2020 after a battle with cancer\, as a significant source of support throughout his life and career.\n\n“I want our students across Orange County to know th at I've got their backs\, no matter what\, and that they should use me as an example\," he said. “No matter what they're going through\, no matter what challenges they may face — whether they have a disability\, a spee ch impediment\, whether they speak English as a second language\, or wheth er they're experiencing trauma — I want them to know that I'm there\, an d I'm going to protect them and help them throughout our county."[/vc_colu mn_text][/vc_column][/vc_row] ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.newportbeach.com/wp-content/uploads/ 2025/12/Wake-Up-Newport-January-2026-Bean-300.jpg CATEGORIES:Chamber Events,Featured LOCATION:Newport Beach Community Room\, 100 Civic Center Drive\, Newport Be ach\, CA\, 92660\, United States X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=100 Civic Center Drive\, Ne wport Beach\, CA\, 92660\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Newpor t Beach Community Room:geo:0,0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:2514@newportbeach.com DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260114T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260114T133000 DTSTAMP:20260114T173902Z URL:https://www.newportbeach.com/events/january-networking-luncheon-series -sol-mexican-cocina/ SUMMARY:January Networking Luncheon Series - SOL Mexican Cocina DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text="Onlilne reservation s are now closed.

It was there\, among the region’s markets and kitchen s\, that he discovered his passion for cuisine and the art of genuine serv ice.\nA graduate of the Hotel Management School F. Martini\, Antonio began his career in Montecatini’s distinguished hotels\, advancing from sous chef to executive chef before refining his craft in Paris under Michelin-s tarred chef Paolo Petrini. He later returned to Tuscany to join Il Gallopa pa\, a Michelin-starred restaurant in Castellina in Chianti\, where his ap proach to Italian gastronomy deepened through precision\, patience\, and r espect for tradition.\nIn 2002\, an opportunity with The Ritz\, London was within reach\, but a visit to a friend in Orange County shifted his path. A chance to join the team of a celebrated Italian restaurant marked the b eginning of a new chapter\, one that would root his culinary vision in Cal ifornia.\nOver the next two decades\, Antonio’s perspective evolved from European classicism to a dialogue between Italian heritage and California ’s seasonal abundance.
