Empowerment Track
The Empowerment Track offers a variety of training seminars designed specifically to work with and help women who are or want to be candidates for office, party activists and campaign paid operatives or volunteers. This training will impart industry specific knowledge and encourage women to get more involved in the campaign process as well as work their way up the political ladder staying engaged on a long-term basis (on the ballot or behind the scenes).
Open to all Republican women, membership is encouraged, but not required to participate in the Empowerment Track. Extra benefits are provided to those who do become full members, including reduced program fees.
Group training programs will be offered at multiple locations in the state in an effort to bring the training closer to all and reach as many women as possible. Fees apply for each program, and participants only attend and pay for sessions they chose to participate in.
