Julie Cellini

Julie Cellini

Julie Cellini is a former reporter and a political lobbyist in Illinois, United States.

In the 1960s while covering the political news beat, Cellini met then married city councillor William Cellini.

As a result of her interest in state history and in Abraham Lincoln, the Illinois governor appointed her as a trustee, then chair, of the Illinois State Historical Library and its extensive Lincoln collection in 1981.

In 1985, she became chairman of the board for Library's successor organization, the Illinois State Historic Preservation Agency.

Her committee to develop a more suitable home for the collection resulted in the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum (ALPLM).

Cellini was described in a Slate.com article as the "most powerful lobbyist in Illinois" and whose "perseverance was the one indispensable element in the creation of the ALPLM." [ [http://www.slate.com/id/2169527/ How To Design a Lincoln Museum] , By Andrew Ferguson, Slate.com, July 4, 2007]

On February 10, 2006, Cellini was named by President George W. Bush to the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission.
