A Message from NFRW President Eileen Sobjack

It has been an incredible experience serving as NFRW president these last two years. The highlight of my term has been meeting many talented Republican women during my travels and learning so much about my Republican sisters.

The NFRW Board of Directors contributed their talents and time to innovative projects and were devoted to serving. The staff at headquarters were efficient, professional and supportive.

Together with the commitment and dedication of each one of you, we have made outstanding progress building a stronger, bolder organization. Here are a few highlights.

• The NFRW commemorated its 85th Anniversary at the Biennial Convention in Oklahoma City with a celebration of the incredible progress we have achieved as the largest grassroots Republican women's organization in the nation, and with a renewed commitment to our enduring mission of engaging and empowering women from all backgrounds in the political process.
   
• NFRW members worked tirelessly in 2022 and 2023 on campaigns. Your total hours and calls saved campaigns over $435 million! We set a new record for campaign volunteer work, and those we elected took notice of our efforts. The Campaign Committee’s brilliant idea to have semi-annual reporting certainly helped too.
   
• We expanded programming and training by offering an award-winning campaign school free to members and virtual programming featuring high-level speakers who informed us on important issues. These programs are on our website and YouTube channel.
   
• The Youth Outreach Committee connected with state presidents, and the response was exceptional, with 80% of state federations appointing a youth outreach chair to develop strategies to reach young women.
   
• The Faith Coalition Committee produced resources to engage women of faith at events with the goal to register them to vote and provide information on how to join a Republican Women’s club.
   
• A record number of clubs totaling 153 were chartered in 2022-23 (see list). We added new federations in Vermont and Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia has a club for the first time in several years.
   
• The Virtual Club Coalition was formed to strengthen virtual clubs and provide speakers.
   
• In 2022, NFRW paid off the mortgage on the president’s condo which was purchased in 2015. The NFRW is debt free!
   
• I worked tirelessly to be more visible as your president and to be unstoppable to promote YOU and this organization that I believe in with all my heart and soul.
   
• I was interviewed by Fox News Channel, attended CPAC, engaged in many media interviews with syndicated media and print media, and wrote op-ed pieces on topics related to the mid-term elections.

Thank you for your part in making these accomplishments possible. United we will continue to achieve success in electing Republican leaders and standing up for Republican principles!
