The Richard G Lugar Excellence In Public Service Series

Stephanie Caraway	"The Lugar Series has helped me to define my career goals and has helped me to develop the confidence to pursue these goals. I feel much more a part of the the Republican family and am better situated to take on leadership roles in the party and in my community."

The program year comprises eight monthly day-long sessions starting in October. In May, the series culminates with a four-day summit in Washington, D.C. The intensive training curriculum addresses, but is not limited to, the following topics:

History of the Republican Party
Formation of Public Policy and Ethics in Government
The Constitution as the Basis for Government
Understanding Local, State and Federal Government
Running a Successful Campaign
Fundraising
Public Speaking Training
The Role of Media in Politics
National Security and the Military

Participants learn from experts and hands-on activities and have the opportunity to network with key Republican leaders at the local, state and national levels.
