Inspired by the late Indiana Senator Richard G. Lugar, the Richard G. Lugar Excellence in Public Service Series was established in 1990 as a not-for-profit women’s leadership development program designed to increase the preparation, influence, and number of Republican women in local, state and national elective and appointive offices.

The Lugar Series has trained 529 Hoosier women and has produced exceptional new party leaders, public board and commission members, political operatives, and elected officials from mayors and legislators to state executive officeholders. The program model has been replicated to create excellence programs in 18 states and has produced over 2,000 graduates nationwide.
