This folder provides readers with the background and historical information of the Foundation for National Political Leadership (FNPL.) The year of 1992 was a political campaign year for Dr. Lee. She ran for congress and lost in the primary with a narrow margin. Then she was involved in President Bush's reelection as a full-time campaign staff. Again, that was not a victory. Upon her return from Washington, DC to Houston, she strongly felt that she had learned a lot, especially as a culturally different grassroots political activist. She wanted to share her political experiences with future leaders. With that conviction, she founded FNPL.
It was a well-formed and active organization that started with one chapter in Houston. A lack of funding from a broader population has rapidly diminished the operation of this organization. Now, with the internet, it is hoped that FNPL could reach out a larger audience than it did 20 years ago.
Dr. Lee's enthusiasm and commitment to inspire young people has not changed even though she has retired from her profession. She is available to speak to young people who are interested in pursuing leadership role in the political arena. She can be reached at estherlee@fnplweb.org.
