California Federation of Republican Women
Affiliated with the National Federation of Republican Women
Kathleen Brugger, CFRW President

The California Federation of Republican Women accomplishes its goals and objectives through numerous volunteer programs, activities and events. Our programs are designed to educate our membership and to provide outreach activities to our surrounding communities.

Our organizations offer scholarships to deserving men and women, political internships and through our Lobbyist Advocate present a proactivist position on identified bills. We provide educational services on elections and on current public policy issues, and through our activities provide training for community leaders and activists.

• Advocacy Program

  The Advocacy Program,headed up by our Registered Lobbyist, allows the California Federation of Republican Women to promote those issues important to their membership. Once a year, during the Spring Conference and Board Meeting the Federation meets in Sacramento and spends one day working with the members of the California State Legislature followed by the Spring Conference and Board Meeting where the members, guests and students hear from legislators on progess in the State Capitol.

• Ambassadors

  The Ambassadors are those who support our advocacy program by supplying additional funding, through their membership, to LASOF, our Legislative Advocate Fund. This is separate and apart from our regular membership and associate dues. Members of the Ambassadors group receive additional benefits at State Meetings and at the Advocacy Day attend a special reception in their honor. For $250.00 for the year, all are welcome to join this vital part of Federation activities and keep our education of our membership alive and healthy.

  The Mamie Eisenhower Library Project (MELP) was designed to foster Republican philosophy and ideas through the donation of related books to libraries, schools, hospitals and other institutions.

• My Favorite Teacher Award

  Each state selects a teacher to receive its "My Favorite Teacher Award" from nominees from the various units throughout the state. The state honoree's application is submitted to the National Federation of Republican Women for consideration as the national winner. The award is presented at the NFRW Biennial Convention.

• No Child Left Behind

  

  CFRW's "No Child Left Behind" Committee began in January, 2002. The Committee's goal is to establish projects that assist in providing California's school children the best education possible. Each Unit Club determines the educational needs of its community, and the degree to which the club can assist children within the schools or elsewhere.

  The emphasis is on reading and literacy. Through the distribution of books to children who do not have the luxury of books at home, to working one on one with a child to improve reading skills, the "No Child Left Behind Program" promotes the principle that "Education is a bipartisan issue!"
