Moin “Moon” Khan is a walking anthology of hard work,
academic excellence, and commitment to people and
communities around him.
Moon is the first Asian American who got elected as a
Trustee of York Township, DuPage County, and the
first Muslim elected in the state of Illinois. Because
of his outreach efforts in the 50,000 strong Asian
American community of DuPage County, Moon has been
appointed as the Asian American Liaison of the DuPage
County Republican Party by its president, State
Senator Kirk Dillard.
Moon's commitment to coalition building attracted the
attention of the Society of Daughters of the American
Revolution, which bestowed upon him its prestigious
Americanism Award in 2005.
A fervent champion of the rights of new immigrants and
people of various ethnic groups, Moon ably served on the
board of Illinois Ethnic Coalition, which drew
primary funding from the American Jewish Committee and
several other prominent social service organizations. A
resident of Lombard (a suburb of Chicago), husband of
Shanu, and father of Shaan, Moon assisted in publishing
the famous Asian American Journalists Association's
Handbook. Later, he assisted in putting out a similar

like handbook, published by the Illinois Ethnic
Coalition.
The lead of a profile published in the Chicago Tribune
began with this sentence: Moon "is a man with a
mission." His mission is to create respect and
political empowerment for all ethnic groups.
A patriot to the hilt, Moon has been speaking and
writing on how to integrate new immigrants into the
mainstream America without restricting their heritage
and uniqueness. In its editorial on October 9, 2001, the
Chicago Tribune lauded Moon's efforts in encouraging
Muslims of America in standing up against US enemies.
A prolific writer, motivational speaker, and
contributing columnist of several ethnic newspapers,
Moon has helped organize numerous candidates' forums
during the election time to generate political awareness
among new immigrants and fundraiser to assist disaster
victims.
Working full time as Director of Information
Resources, Moon's second job has been volunteerism.
Moon has served on the board of directors of more than
two dozen social service and charitable organizations
that include the Asian American Institute
(Director), Asian American Journalists Association
(Vice President), Bihar Cultural Association
(Founding President), DuPage Chapters of American
Cancer Society and United Way (Director), India

Convention's Media Relations Committee
(chairperson), Village of Bloomingdale's Fourth of
July Commission (Commissioner), and elected
Committeeman of the York Township of the Republican
Organizations.
Former Community Editor of the India Tribune and
Chief Editor of Spotlight Weekly, Moon has

an Indian community's cable-based TV program.
Founding President of the Asian American Caucus of
DuPage, Moon holds M.A. and M.B.A. degrees along
