About the THE EXCELLENCE PUBLIC SERVICE SERIES The Dwight D. Eisenhower Excellence in Public Service series is part of the Winning Women series as developed by Senator Richard G. Lugar of Indiana. The series has been hugely successful in states such as Indiana, where 85% of the participants moved into higher levels of participation in the political process after completing the program. In Indiana, they naturally attracted a diverse group of women with varying levels of education, choice of profession, marital status and age. There are currently 20 State Programs (please see below) with 1,248 graduates in the Excellence in Public Service Series National Coalition. Amanda Adkins and Kari Bruffett are the founders and co-chairs of the Series. The honorary board includes Mary Brownback, Franki Roberts, Vicki Tiahrt, Robba Moran, Anne Ryun, June Cooper, Jan Meyers, Lynn Jenkins, and Sandy Praeger. Founding Member The Dwight D. Eisenhower Excellence in Public Service Series was established through the generosity and encouragement of Mr. John Uhlmann, a lifelong Republican activist living in Shawnee Mission, Kansas. He is current chairman of the board of the Uhlmann company, a grocery products company based in Kansas City, Missouri.
