The Vesta Roy Series is a political leadership training program for Republican
women who have an interest in politics and public service but have not
yet held state elective office. The program provides both informational
and skills-building sessions to give participants tools and training to
build their confidence and turn interest into activism. While the
Series does not take positions on specific issues or candidates, it
does encourage its participants to explore and develop their own
philosophy and then use that to serve the community. Vesta
Roy served as a
Rockingham County Commissioner, state representative, and state senator
from 1979-1986. As senate president at the time of Governor Hugh
Gallen's death, she served as governor for seven days
prior to the swearing
in of Governor John H. Sununu. While not the first elected woman
governor in New Hampshire, she was the first female to hold that
position. To her colleagues, however, she was best known as a respected and confident leader who encouraged others to engage in the political process. Her well-known slogan was the same in every campaign, "Privileged to have served at the state, county and local level". The Vesta Roy Series Class of 2010
