2009 RNC Women's Summit

On Thursday, June 25, 2009, the Republican National Committee kicked off its Women’s Program with the first annual Women’s Summit, held at the Capitol Hill Club in Washington, DC. The mission of the RNC Women’s Program is to recruit, register, train and sustain a strong base of women activists and candidates to build the Republican Party, portray the GOP as the automatic option for female voters and win elections.

Over 300 women from across the country attended the Summit. They were nominated to attend by their RNC Members or their Members of Congress and are leaders within their state parties, volunteers who continue to shine throughout each election cycle and new supporters who are interested in expanding their role within the Party. The RNC is counting on these women to implement the goals of the Women’s Program within their states and territories and to be the face of the Program across the country.

Over the course of the day, participants heard from talented and informed speakers, including pollsters, Members of Congress, Republican candidates and leaders from the Republican National Committee, National Republican Congressional Committee and National Republican Senatorial Committee. Panels and presentations included information on polling, legislative issues, new media practices and discussion surrounding the vision for the future of the GOP. Additionally, attendees had the ability to network with Republican women from around the country and to hear about Co-Chairman Larimer’s plans for the RNC Women’s Program.
