About The New Hampshire Federation of Republican Women

The New Hampshire Federation of Republican Women is the largest grassroots Republican women’s organization in New Hampshire and the premier organization for electing, educating and empowering Republican women in New Hampshire. We are the Official New Hampshire Chapter of the National Federation of Republican Women. We received our National FRW Charter in 1944 and have been empowering women since then. Our State Federation consists of 8 clubs throughout New Hampshire and we are hard at work creating more clubs. Within the State Federation we have an Executive Board with leaders from across the state and an Advisory Board which consists of the Club Presidents and appointed chairs/directors (scroll down to meet everyone!)

Check out our calendar to view our events and follow us on Facebook: here and Twitter: here

The objectives of NHFRW as stated in our bylaws are:

  • To promote an informed public through education and political and social activity.
  • To increase the effectiveness of women in the cause of good government.
  • To facilitate cooperation among the National (NFRW) and State Federations of Republican Women and the local clubs.
  • To foster loyalty to the Republican Party and to promote its principles and candidates in all elections, including non-partisan elections.
  • To support the objectives and policies of the Republican National Committee and the New Hampshire Republican State Committee.
  • To promote the principles of freedom, equality and justice on which the government of this country is founded.

Membership Overview:

When you join NHFRW you are also becoming a member of the
National Federation of Republican Women and any club you choose to join!

All of our local clubs have their own events, board meetings,
member events and number of members within each club varies
from 25 to over 200. Members of NHFRW are encouraged to attend any club meeting they find of interest or which works into their
schedule. We understand that one size does not fit all and have
the built in flexibility to need member's needs. In addition
to promoting Republicans, community outreach is a
major part of each clubs agenda. There are many ongoing
and new programs benefiting from the dedication of
NHFRW members. NHFRW Members range from
College Republicans, New Hampshire Young Republicans
and young professionals to mothers, grandmothers,
small business owners and NH female State
Representatives, Senators and Nationally known
women. Whether you're new to politics, interested
in running for office in NH or if you just simply want to create a lifetime network of like minded women of all ages - we encourage you to join our team.

ATTEND OUR NEXT EVENT

Empowering the Next Generation of Conservative Women:

We strongly believe in empowering the next
generation of conservative female leaders and
making sure they have the resources they need to be successful. We have 8 Young Republicans serving on
our Advisory Board in a leadership capacity and 2 are
College Republicans who provide a unique and much-
needed perspective on engaging young voters! We
have many Young Republicans and College
Republicans who are involved in our organization
and we work hard to ensure they have a seat at our
table! We have a $15 Student Membership discounted
rate and work to provide opportunities for young
women. If you are a YR or CR or high school student
and are interested in getting involved in #NHPolitics
or looking to get your foot in the door and connect
with like-minded women, this is the organization
for you!
