BORCHERDT, WENDY: Files, 1981-1982

Presidential Personnel, White House Office of: Associate Director (no collection at this time)

Public Liaison, White House Office of: Special Assistant to the President for Women

Wendy Borcherdt (1936- ) was a management consultant and civic volunteer, who did volunteer work for every Ronald Reagan political campaign from 1966 to 1980. She moved beyond volunteer work with the 1980 Reagan Presidential campaign, working as a fundraiser. After the election, she assisted with the Inaugural ceremonies. Borcherdt joined the White House Presidential Personnel staff in February 1981, with the twofold responsibility of recruiting and selecting women for Executive Branch positions, and recruiting ambassadorial candidates. In September 1981 she moved to the Office of Public Liaison, as the first Public Liaison person specifically assigned to women and women’s groups. Borcherdt left the White House staff in September 1982, shortly before being nominated as Deputy Under Secretary of Education for Intergovernmental and Interagency Affairs.

The Reagan Library has this single set of Borcherdt files that document her time in Public Liaison (primarily) with a very small amount of documentation regarding her position within the Office of Presidential Personnel. The collection is arranged into two series: SERIES I: Subject File; and SERIES II: Women’s Organizations.
