Anne Hathaway, while a proud Hoosier, still claims Galva, Illinois as her hometown.  She was a 10-year member of both the Galva Gals and Galva Sodbuster 4-H Clubs and learned through the example of her parents the importance of community and public service.

She is a graduate of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, where she was an active member of the 4-H House Cooperative and later served as President and member of the 

4-H House Alumni Board. She also served as Executive Vice President of the Panhellenic Council while on campus.

Professionally, Anne is the President and CEO of Hathaway Strategies, an innovative grassroots public affairs firm based in Indianapolis. She has served in a variety of roles throughout her career, notably as Assistant to the Vice President and Director of Scheduling and Public Liaison in the George H.W. Bush White House; Chairman of the 2024 Republican National Convention, and Chief of Staff of the Republican National Committee. 

In addition, she was the first female elected as Chair of The Indiana Republican Party. She serves on several community and business boards and is currently the Executive Director of the Richard G. Lugar Excellence in Public Service Series, which has trained nearly 700 women to engage in public service.
