The Richard G. Lugar Excellence in Public Service Series

Founded in 1989, the Richard C. Lugar Excellence in Public Service Series encourages, mentors and prepares selected Republican women leaders to seek new levels of involvement in government and politics.  Up to 20 Republican women are selected annually to participate in eight monthly day-long sessions covering issues in government, campaigns, and leadership development.  The series culminates with a four-day summit in Washington, D.C.  Series Fellows must demonstrate a commitment to seeking positions in government or the Republican Party within 5 years of completing the program.
