The National Committeeman and the National Committeewoman serve as leaders of the Illinois Republican Party and the Republican National Committee. These are volunteer positions of great responsibility. The National Committeeman and the National Committeewoman must be prepared to serve in a number of different roles: fundraiser, advisor, implementer, moderator, activist and motivator. The National Committeeman and the National Committeewoman are generally responsible for representing Illinois Republicans at both the state and national levels. To varying degrees, the National Committeeman and the National Committeewoman will be coordinators of party activities and party development. The National Committeeman and the National Committeewoman will be looked to as a face of the party and therefore will potentially need to serve as its spokesperson, talking to news media and publicly supporting Republican policies and candidates. The National Committeeman and the National Committeewoman also serve as party liaisons with the general public, campaigns, government officials, and various organizations. This will also require them to serve as a mediator, peacekeeper, and sounding board.
