Since the inception of the first Leadership Series in 1990, 15-20 outstanding women have successfully completed the program in each of the states where programs are available. While none of the Leadership Series programs take positions on issues or support individual candidates, each woman is encouraged to explore and develop her own philosophy and then use that to serve her community in ex paned ways.

Traditionally, 85 percent of the program participants increase their levels of involvement in the political process by becoming members of public service boards and commissions, party organization leaders, candidates for office, officeholders, key campaign volunteers of government staff appointees.

Women of the Leadership Series are serving as mayors, state legislators, state office-holders, White House staff members, and Presidential appointees. They are county commissioners, city council members, trustees, and clerks. They serve on school boards and a host of other governmental and political commissions.
