The Lincoln Series Class of 2023 Leadership Application AVAILABLE NOW!

It's the heart of the 2022 Election cycle, and you may not be looking much past November 8. However, it's important that we all look forward beyond the election to ensure we encourage the future women of the Republican Party to get involved in local, state and federal government. Is there a Republican woman in your local area comes to mind? If so, The Lincoln Series is the organization to empower her to continue her future involvement in the Illinois Republican Party.

The Lincoln Series provides the tools, knowledge and statewide network to help Republican women in Illinois become purposeful leaders. More than 200 Lincoln Series graduates have gone on to serve in various roles in government, policy and/or campaigns.

Now is the time to encourage Republican women, no matter their level of political involvement, to apply for the 2023 Lincoln Series Program. Applications can be found H ERE and are due on October 31, 2022.

Congratulations Lincoln Series Leadership Class of 2022!

In July, The Lincoln Series Board of Governors celebrated the Class of 2022 - four talented women - who bring their passion, sincerity and dedication to serve others through public service. Pat Bonk (Cook County), Kerri Clark (Union County), Abby Oliver (DuPage County) and Marissa Spencer (DuPage County) began the Leadership program in the fall of 2021. The fellowship program started with the Nuts & Bolts of the Republican Party program, followed by programs in fundraising, campaigning and public speaking. The four fellows traveled to Washington, DC for a behind the scenes look at Federal Government. Due to COVID delays, the Springfield program will take place November 14 -16, 2022.

During July's graduation event, key note speakers State Representative Avery Bourne and U.S. Senate Candidate Kathy Salvi imparted inspirational first-hand accounts of their experiences in public service. Representative. Bourne's and Ms. Salvi's addresses were particularly poignant that given the Illinois Primary had taken place just a couple weeks prior to graduation. Thank you Representative Bourne and Kathy Salvi for your time and our wonderful sponsors and donors of graduation and for the 2022 programs. We are grateful for your support!

Pusateri Empowers, Leads & Inspires

From the fall of 2017 though December of 2021, Eva Pusateri led The Lincoln Series and its Board of Governors as its president. Eva’s background in campaigns and candidate training made her valuable to The Lincoln Series, but her sense of community among Republican women and her dedication to bring Republican women to the political bench in Illinois politics motivated everyone around her to get involved. The Board of Governors honored Eva for her commitment to The Lincoln Series at its graduation celebration in July.

Under Eva’s leadership, The Lincoln Series modernized the way it does business, streamlining our administrative approach by building a new website and

incorporating customer relationship management websites into regular practice. Additionally, we rebranded our organization, which included a new logo and for the first time, we had a tagline - Empower. Lead. Inspire. We upped our game on social media and reaching out to Lincoln Series alumna, members and friends through bi-monthly newsletters. To increase our visibility across our great state, Board Members traveled to different Republican organizations to share the importance of The Lincoln Series and women in Republican politics. Thank you, Eva, for your dedication and leadership. We are grateful to you beyond measure.
