VFRW Club Histories - Celebrating 50 Years
Prior to 1953, we were the Virginia Council of Republican Women. Purportedly, some clubs began as early as 1938; however, the Council of Republican Women did not have a sufficient number of clubs or members to be part of the National Federation of Republican Women. In 1953, those numbers changed as a result of the efforts of a stalwart group of officers we became chartered by the NFRW (National Federation of Republican Women).
Subsequently we have led the charge in Virginia to maintain a GOP majority, educate women in the political process, increase the number of women who serve in elected office from the Court House to the Halls of Congress, and remain the most positive Republican voice in politics. That membership number has grown immeasurably over the years.
Today, we are the 6th LARGEST Federation in the National Federation of Republican Women. With a strong legacy as our foundation, a productive present, we have a promising future. To view the club histories, please click here.
