One of the benefits of participating in the Bergeson Series is the incredible network that is created. To date, dozens of Republican women of all ages and backgrounds have been trained to run for office, work in government, for campaigns, or to work in public affairs for the private sector.
Today, several scholars have been elected to local and regional office, appointed to important local and statewide positions within government, or are making a difference by working behind the scenes of national and statewide campaigns.
