The Leadership Track provides a unique experience for each participant, helping to inform and educate Fellows at all political levels. The curriculum begins with the basics on the structure of the Republican Party. Each program thereafter expands on some aspect of what is learned in the first program with county government, followed by state and federal government, ethics, as well as campaign training and media relations. Each program is set up not only to educate and inform, but also to network with speakers, state and federal legislators, and government officials, among others. These exciting opportunities set the stage to learn more about the nuances of life in the political world, while creating and building lifelong mentoring relationships to help our select Fellows reach their professional goals.

Empowerment
One of the two campaign schools held in 2018, this one at the State GOP Headquarters in Springfield.

The Empowerment Track offers a variety of training seminars designed specifically to work with and help women who are or want to be candidates for office, party activists and campaign paid operatives or volunteers. This training will impart industry specific knowledge and training to encourage women to get more involved in the campaign process and work their way up the political ladder staying engaged on a long-term basis, in whichever roles -- on the ballot or behind the scenes -- for which they are most interested.
