Speaker Biography ~
Ginger Emas has been a freelance writer since 1987 when she left her editor’s job at IBM in Charlotte, N.C., to move to Atlanta. She told everyone she wanted to open her own firm, but the truth was she had dated all of the eligible young men in the tri-city Mecklenburg area and needed a larger pool. She did indeed meet and marry her husband in Atlanta, but after thirteen years of marriage (and fourteen years of couple’s therapy) they divorced – and Ginger lost a husband but gained a life-long friendship. So began Ginger’s self-revealing, humorous and helpful dating survival guide: Back on Top: Fearless Dating After Divorce. Ginger spends her time in Atlanta, and says she is now part of the happy family of four she always wanted: her son, her boyfriend, her ex and herself.

Speaker Biography
Described as a “lawyer’s lawyer” and recognized by the American College of Trial Lawyers as one of the top trial attorneys in the nation, Roy E. Barnes knew from a young age what profession he wanted to pursue. His love of law and his commitment to serving others have never wavered.
A lifelong resident of Cobb County, Georgia, Roy Barnes received his undergraduate degree from the University of Georgia and graduated with honors from the Lumpkin School of Law at UGA in 1972. Upon graduation, he went to work as a prosecutor in the Cobb County District Attorney’s office, where he stayed until opening his first law firm in 1975.
For over 30 years, Barnes has tried civil and criminal cases throughout Georgia and in neighboring states including a successful class action lawsuit against Fleet Finance that received national recognition in the early 1990s. His practice has concentrated primarily on civil litigation, where he has developed an expertise in consumer class action cases, medical malpractice matters, products liability law, general tort matters and commercial litigation.
Barnes has appeared in more than 150 cases in the state and federal appellate courts. Barnes has been a public servant nearly as long as he has been a lawyer. At age 26, he was elected the youngest member of the Georgia State Senate. He went on to serve a total of eight terms and was a member of the Appropriations, Rules and Transportation committees. In addition, he was Chairman of the Select Committee on Constitutional Revision, which rewrote the state’s constitution as well as Chairman of the powerful Judiciary Committee. He also served as a floor leader to Governor Joe Frank Harris from 1983 to 1989. After an unsuccessful bid for the Governor’s Office in 1990, Barnes was elected to the State House of Representatives, where he served for six years and was Vice Chairman of the Judiciary Committee and Chair of the Subcommittee on General Law.
In 1998, Barnes was elected to serve as the 80th Governor of the State of Georgia. During his term, he concentrated on education reform, health care reform, and remedies for urban growth and sprawl. He created the Georgia Cancer Coalition and served as Chair of the Southern Regional Education Board, the Southern Governor’s Association, and the Education Commission of the States. He was defeated for reelection in large part because of his efforts to change the Georgia flag, a political decision for which he was honored with the 2003 John F. Kennedy Library Foundation Profiles in Courage Award.From the day he was elected governor, Roy Barnes knew he would return to the practice of law, which he has done through the establishment of The Barnes Law Group.

Speaker Biography
Cathey W. Steinberg has served as an advocate on behalf of consumers and families for more than 25 years as Georgia’s first independent Consumers’ Insurance Advocate, a business owner of an advocacy training and strategic planning company, a state legislator, and as Executive Director of a non-profit serving troubled youth.
Steinberg served from July 1999 through March 2003 as Georgia’s first Consumers’ Insurance Advocate, whose primary responsibility was to protect and promote consumers’ interests on insurance matters. Based on her long-standing reputation as a consumer and family advocate, in July 1999, Governor Barnes appointed Steinberg to this important position as an independent voice for Georgians on insurance issues. During her tenure, this office became nationally recognized and Steinberg was appointed a Consumer Representative with the National Association of Insurance Commissioners.
Steinberg previously spent a total of 14 years in the state legislature. She served in the House of Representatives from 1977 to 1989 and in the Senate from 1991 to 1993. In 1992, she ran for the United States Congress and won the Democratic nomination but lost the general election by less than a one-percentage point margin.
As a state legislator, Steinberg was involved in issues concerning families and health care as well as energy and the environment.

Additional legislative achievements include a landmark law to regulate land use by requiring impact studies before re-zonings (the Steinberg Act), the Nursing Home Residents’ Bill of Rights, the Georgia Child Care Council, under-age drinking laws, and tax relief for senior citizens.
After her congressional race, she developed and was managing partner of Ahead of the Curve, a public policy consulting and advocacy training firm she founded. During her eight-year tenure, Steinberg worked with several advocacy groups on a wide range of issues such as teen pregnancy prevention and issues important to people with disabilities and their families, such as accessible housing, community-based services, and employment.
Steinberg has served on the advisory boards of the Atlanta Business Chronicle and the Atlanta Lung Association. She was a member of the Executive Committee of the United Way’s Community and Government Relations Division, the Council on Elder Abuse, and the Governor’s Statewide DUI Task Force and Leadership Atlanta.

In the June/July 2000 edition of Business to Business Magazine, Steinberg was identified as a “Diva”, one of Atlanta’s most dynamic women. Similarly, in 2001, Steinberg was recognized by the Atlanta Business Chronicle as one of Atlanta’s 100 most influential citizens and by Georgia Trend Magazine as one of the 100 Most Influential Georgians of the Year.
Steinberg received a bachelor’s degree from Carnegie-Mellon University and earned her master’s degree in guidance and counseling from the University of Pittsburgh.
From September 05 through September 07, Steinberg served as the Executive Director of the Juvenile Justice Fund, a non-profit dedicated to addressing the needs of troubled youth from the Fulton County Juvenile Court and other community resources. Focusing on difficult problems that most agencies do not address, such as sexual exploitation of children and serious family dysfunction, the Juvenile Justice Fund has a seven-year record of delivering innovative, effective interventions for youth and children who come to a juvenile court.
Steinberg is currently enjoying her family (3 grandchildren), and traveling. She is consulting and doing project work as needed.
