FEDERATION PROFILE

The Ohio Federation is divided into six regions and has 90 clubs. Members sponsor Literacy Day, Legislative Day and the Tribute to Women, and have formed WOW (Win With Ohio Women) political action committee. Members "adopt" candidates to get them elected, work in campaigns and participate in get-out-the-vote efforts. Clubs provide service to their communities through minority outreach programs, the $2,500 scholarship fund, and "Tag A Teacher" project.
