SUMMARY:Former Dole Staffers Rod DeArment\, Sheila Burke\, and Robert Lighthizer
DESCRIPTION:2025 commemorates the 80th anniversary of Bob Dole’s battlefield wounding\, and the end of World War II. Former Dole staffers Robert Lighthizer\, Sheila Burke\, and Rod DeArment will discuss the Senator’s formative leadership during the Reagan era through his retirement from the US Senate in 1996. How did Dole influence U.S. fiscal and economic policy? What policy concerns shaped his political platform during his presidential runs in 1988 and 1996? Which of his policies and leadership lessons are most relevant today? \n  \nAbout the Dole Lecture\nEach spring\, the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics commemorates the date on which Senator Bob Dole was critically wounded while serving in Italy during World War II. To honor Senator Dole’s courageous recovery and commitment to serve the nation\, we welcome a guest to the Institute who embodies the commitments that Senator Dole held throughout his career in public service. \n  \n\n  \nSheila Burke served as Chief of Staff to Senator Bob Dole from 1985 to 1996 in his capacity as Senate Republican Leader.
