Linda H. Bond

Linda H. Bond began her career in the Ronald Reagan administration’s Office of Management and Budget press office and later worked for the director of Voice of America. Ms. Bond joined the Reagan-Bush presidential campaign in 1984, working for the presidential speechwriter, Ken Khachigian. After serving as Director of the International Rescue Committee’s Germany operations during the late 1980s, Ms. Bond returned to the United States to lead fundraising efforts for Empower America—a think tank that included individuals such as Jack Kemp, Bill Bennett and Jeane Kirkpatrick. She later served as finance director for the 1995 and 2000 Steve Forbes presidential campaigns and the National Republican Senatorial Committee. She then joined with Linus Catignani to form the political and not-for-profit fundraising firm, Catignani & Bond. In addition to raising funds for charitable organizations, the firm has assisted US Senate candidates, including Senate majority leaders Bill Frist and Mitch McConnell. The firm also implemented and managed Republican Senate Cloakroom activities for the 2004, 2008, 2012, 2016 and 2020 Republican National Conventions.
For more than a decade, Ms. Bond worked as a consultant for the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute, leading activities in Washington, DC; coordinating major fundraising events around the country and orchestrating the international events for the centennial celebration honoring President Reagan across Central Europe, the Baltics, and the United Kingdom. Serving in a volunteer capacity, Ms. Bond was a principal organizer of the Washington National Cathedral portion of the state funeral of President Reagan, and served that same function for the state funeral of President Gerald Ford. Since 2015, Ms. Bond has been an active partner of the KBS Group, a business development and government affairs firm she helped found.
