A key focus of the meeting will be the role of Republican women and the operational aspects of running a club. National Federation of Republican Women (NFRW) President Julie Harris will be present to address the organization's history and its influence within the Republican movement.
Participants can look forward to a series of informative training sessions featuring prominent speakers. Secretary of State Phil McGrane will provide insight into the Idaho Sunshine Law, while former Attorney General and Law Professor Lawrence Wasden will explain the nuances of IRS 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) designations. Additionally, Chief Deputy Nicole Fitzgerald and the state Business Director will lead a review of the requirements for registering a club in Idaho, including guidelines for state and federal filings related to fundraising activities. Furthermore, training on the ins and outs of required state and federal filings will be offered.
The first day of the event will culminate in a fundraising dinner, featuring historian and former Lieutenant Governor Dave Leroy, who will discuss the policies and legacy of Ronald Reagan, as well as the significant impact Republican Women have had in shaping both state and national policy.
The second day will wrap up with the selection of delegates for the upcoming NFRW convention, ensuring that Idaho's Federation of Republican Women continues to play a vital role in the political landscape.
