On JANUARY 21, 2012 the LEADERSHIP WORKSHOP

was held where members had an opportunity to network with other members of Northern Division as we begin this critical year in Republican politics.  The various office holders were offered two workshop sessions.  Workshops included updating club members on the job descriptions of the offices of President, Membership Secretary, Treasurer, Newsletter and Public Relations.  It gave the members an opportunity to ask questions and start their new year with the best leadership information we could provide.  The luncheon speaker Catherine is a member of Blackhawk Republicanm Women Federated who spoke on Voter Integrity. We thank the SACRAMENTO MARRIOTT RANCHO CORDOVA for their hospitality.

Stay Informed * Get Involved * Invite Others

This is a critical point in our nation’s history. Now more than ever we need to join together with a strong conservative voice and help influence any and all that we can to do the right thing. There are many who are forcing a fundamental change on our country against the will of the people. There are many that don’t understand the impact of these changes, or may understand, yet don’t know what we can do about them. While there are hundreds of stories, blogs and manners of getting information, we will try to gather highlights here for your use. 

We ask you to join us in sharing this information with others and educate all that you can on what is happening. Bring more women (and men) into our membership, and help us strengthen our voice, our resolve and to take back our country. We need Republicans to stand strong and be heard together...
