June 16, 2015 Emily Zender Executive Director, Illinois Right to
Life [email protected] 312.422.9300 Greetings, Emily.
Please accept my submission to be considered for the position of
Illinois Right to Life Program Manager. Let me share the following
three reasons why I believe I may be the right candidate
ProfessionallyI am a skilled planner and promoter with a successful
track record of full spectrum involvement. My strong communications
and development background undergirds event coordination with a
focus on presenting a clear, consistent message. Attention to
detail is paramount through inception, strategy, promotion,
presentation and follow up. Event coordination, planning, promotion
and consulting have been an intrinsic part of each of my career
postings. I have managed or been deeply involved in presenting many
promotional and fundraising events, and been responsible for the
promotion and publicity of numerous others. The pro-life
organizations whose causes I have professionally advanced include
Illinois Right to Life, March for Life Chicago, Speak Out Illinois,
Aid for Women, Lutherans for Life, CareNet Pregnancy Services of
DuPage, Life Legal Defense Foundation, Pro-Life Action League,
Students for Life, Word of Hope, Voice of Care and the Lutheran
Church Missouri Synod Northern Illinois District Life Ministry.
PersonallyI am committed to pro-life involvement. I vote pro-life,
write pro-life curriculum and regularly witness to the sanctity of
human life. Pro-life organizations that I have been involved with
and financially support include Illinois Right to Life, CareNet
Pregnancy Services of DuPage, Lutherans for Life, Word of Hope, and
Voice of Care. I have done sidewalk counseling with Illinois
Citizens for Life, prayed with 40 Days for Life, and walked door to
door with ICE-PAC (Illinois Citizens for Ethics Pro-Life Political
Action Committee). ProactivelyI endorse the mission of Illinois
Right to Life and believe that educational life initiatives are
incredibly important. Whether bringing information about pregnancy
help and adoption services to a woman who is pregnant and scared or
exposing the dreadful health and safety risks at Illinois abortion
facilities, Illinois Right to Life is leading people to be
transformed by the renewal of your mind. Sadly, the culture of
death which deems abortion and euthanasia as acceptable has not
been greatly impacted by the science of when life begins. Society
is in need of a heart transplant. Illinois Right to Life is paving
the way for spiritual and social transformation through honest
dissemination of hard truth combined with overwhelming compassion.
While I am unflinchingly pro-life, it is not the polarizing black
and white of right and wrong that best clarifies the issue for me.
Rather it is the fact that my daughters have never known a society
in which under different circumstances they could have been
aborted. How grievous and tragic. Illinois Right to Life has much
work to do and I am eager to be a part of that mission. Please find
links here to my downloadable resume and a writing sample, plus a
link to a handful of the thousands of national and local media
releases, features and essays I have written. I am also providing
recognitions and professional references. Best Regards, Lori E.

you in advance for your consideration.
