ABOUT LINDA BOWEN
I graduated from Maryville University in St. Louis County, Missouri with a degree in Management of Information Systems and a minor in Business Management.
I worked for Union Pacific Corporation for 25 years. 22 years for Missouri Pacific/Union Pacific Railroad in the Finance Department of which 7 years was in the union and 15 years in management which included Manager of Revenue Systems. This position eventually provided the opportunity to begin working for Union Pacific Technologies as an Information Technology Business Consultant. After spending 3 years at Union Pacific Technologies, Union Pacific Corporation decided to move all subsidiaries in St. Louis to Omaha, Consequently, I decided to take the severance package and remain in St. Louis. Therefore, in January 2004, I began my own successful information technology business consulting firm, and my first client was UP Railroad.
However, in December 2012, my husband and I decided to retire. We have two children with seven grandchildren and wanted to spend more time with them. Three of the seven grandchildren attend Mehlville School District, and the other four are preschoolers. However, I have never been one to remain idle for long. Therefore, I became more involved as a volunteer in the community and in politics. I've found that the value of volunteering is much deeper, much more fulfilling and much more important in contributing to a healthy and vibrant community.
I am currently a member of Lemay Chamber of Commerce, Lemay Neighborhood Association, Mehlville Lions Club & Board, Kiwanis Club & Board, along with other projects working with numerous charitable organizations and community outreach programs within the Lemay Township area. I have worked on various levels of political campaigns, served as 2015 President of Concord-Lemay Republican Club & increased the club membership by 77%, using proven leadership, organizational excellence, management, information technology, & communication skills.
A competent & successful committee woman should be heavily involved in the community since they are organizing the grassroots of the Republican Party. Consequently, my volunteer positions will be an asset in performing the tasks required to properly represent OUR community. Secondly, I have lived in Lemay Township for 27+ years so I have an equitable interest in working to improve OUR community.

What are the responsibilities of a township committee person?
A Republican Township Committeewoman represents the GOP voters of her township at the County Republican Party level.
But most importantly, a Republican Township Committeewoman is the face of the GOP within the township. In many cases, a Republican Township Committeewoman might be the only party official a voter ever meets in person. This volunteer position is really what one makes of it. Some do more than others. But the Republican Township Precinct Committeewoman’s job is, in essence, all about helping to grow the GOP and working to deliver the maximum number of Republican votes from his or her township on Election Day. Township Committeewomen comprise the core of any grassroots effort and no political campaign can be successful without these front line GOP ambassadors. The principle means of doing the job is just an extension of what most people already do – talking to the neighbors. By becoming a Republican Township Committeewoman you can take a leadership role in advancing the Republican Platform principles of lower taxes, smaller government, fiscal responsibility, individual freedom, strong national defense, and traditional family values. What are some of the things it takes to be a grassroots community organizer?
