 Welcome
to the Excellence in
Public Service Series
web site.
I am glad that you
have found your way to
this important program,
because women have so
much to offer public
service.
If our Nation is
going to achieve its
highest potential, we
must engage more women
in the political
process. That includes
electing and appointing
women to positions of
leadership throughout
government.
I am happy to say
that progress is being
made. More women are
serving at all levels of
government than ever
before, but we have a
long way to go until we
are fully represented.
Of course, the battle is
not only being waged at
the federal level.
Though we will not give
up the fight for more
women in prominent
national positions, we
also need women in local
and state government. We
need them in the court
houses and state houses,
as mayors and
magistrates, senators
and state
legislators.
I am proud that this
Series bears my name and
even more proud that
alumnae, governors and
supporters of the Series
are working hard to
achieve these goals.
This program helps
cultivate, educate, and
inspire women to strive
for the higher reaches
