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 Instagram, Facebook and Twitter

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:

VIEW OUR MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS

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.

Events & Opportunities:

ATTEND OUR NEXT EVENT


Our State Federation holds several major events a year including a Christmas Party, fundraising events, a Tea & Garden Party, the historic Lilac Luncheon, Membership Kickoffs and events with top New Hampshire and National leaders.

Our events are often nationally recognized by the National FRW, local and national media outlets, etc. NHFRW Leaders are often asked to participate in roundtables and discussions with leaders such as Congressman Will Hurd, Senator Tom Cotton, Governor Asa Hutchinson, Congressman Mike Rogers, Governor Kristi Noem, and Senator Kelly Ayotte. Speakers we've had in the past include Barbara Bush, George W. Bush, Lynne Cheney, Christine Todd Whitman, Governor Mitt Romney and Senator George Allen.

We also have many NHFRW Member Exclusive events such as our 2021 Christmas Party that was only open to NHFRW members featuring Vice President Mike Pence! 

Membership opportunities also include monthly meet-ups, networking events, socials, education workshops, digital advertising and social media tools, civic engagement opportunities, membership discounts to events and much more!

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 New Hampshire politics or looking to get your foot in the door and connect with like-minded women, this is the organization for you! 

JOIN OUR TEAM

Attend GOP Events Statewide with Fellow NHFRW Members:

There's always room for you at our table! NHFRW loves to support our town, county committees and state party events and almost always sponsors a table of NHFRW members! Sitting at the NHFRW table is a great way to attend the events and get to know members statewide! 

We've sponsored tables at the HCRC Lincoln Reagan Dinner with Vice President Mike Pence, the GCRC Dinner with Congressman Dan Crenshaw, the NHGOP Amos Tuck Dinner with Senator Tim Scott and the CCRC Dinner with Senator Tom Cotton!
