Winning Women: Leadership For The New Century
“Winning Women: Leadership for the New Century” is an initiative of the Republican National Committee to work with and for women. “Winning Women” is an attempt to build on our outreach efforts and win increased support from our nation’s women. We have an opportunity, much like that in 1980, where we are able as the governing party to work with and for women. President Bush's compassionate conservative message earned him the unprecedented support of 43% of the women who voted in 2000. This is good, but we can do better. Ann Wagner, Co-Chairman of the Republican National Committee (RNC), developed the Winning Women program in order to mainstream women into Republican Party politics. Winning Women has four components: Communication, Leadership Training, Grassroots Development and the Winning Women web site. Communication:
If women voted the way they lived, they’d vote Republican. Through Winning Women, the RNC will utilize Republican Women leaders to communicate our message. It is vital that women know the Republican Party offers them the best hope for a secure and stable future for women and their families. Since July 2001, Ann Wagner has traveled to many areas of the United States communicating the Republican message through Winning Women. Co-Chairman Wagner participated in a women’s panel for the California State Party convention. She joined RNC Communications Director Mindy Tucker and local women leaders in bringing the national and local Republican message to California women. Co-Chairman Wagner has also visited Arizona, Georgia, New York, New Jersey, Washington, Florida and North Carolina, New Mexico, Alaska, among many others. Leadership Training:
The RNC is committed to increasing the number of Republican women in elected and appointed political and governmental positions at the local, state and federal levels. Winning Women has teamed up with the very successful Richard G. Lugar Excellence in Public Service Series to provide leadership training for women in each state. Since its inception in 1989, the Excellence in Public Service Series has been replicated in Illinois, New Jersey, Ohio and Pennsylvania. The Lugar Series, the Lincoln Series, the Whitman Series, the Davidson Series, the Anstine Series and any developing program, have the support of the RNC through Winning Women. At the state level, various key Republican organizations assist in the development and support of these programs. Grassroots Development:
At the RNC, we’ve been signing up Team Leaders – and, in particular, Women Team Leaders – by the thousands, and it’s making a difference. Team leaders have access to all the unfiltered information concerning President Bush’s positive agenda for America and what needs to be done to keep making progress. We’re turning these team leaders into a grassroots army – foot soldiers – who are helping us spread the Republican message of hope, promise and opportunity across the country. Our Team Leaders write letters to the editor, they call in to local radio talk shows to spread the word, and they distribute the information we give them to their own network of friends, neighbors and co-workers. RNC Political Director Blaise Hazelwood, working with the Bush national leadership team, developed the Team Leader program. Blaise and her political team are spreading the Republican message and making a difference in communities across the nation. The RNC has enlisted the help of the National Federation of Republican Women (NFRW) in this grassroots effort. The NFRW has a long history of recruiting women leaders across the country and the RNC is proud to join with them in this effort. Our Team Leaders are deeply involved in creating victory. You can become a Team Leader by visiting our web site at www.gopteamleader.com. Sign up today! Web Site:
The Winning Women web site integrates the latest technology with up-to-date GOP information. Women are provided with the latest news, activities and initiatives concerning our party. They are informed about recent legislative issues, can voice their opinion through the Vote Center and even e-mail their representatives in the United States Congress. Through the Winning Women web site, women can sign up to be leaders in the Republican Party by joining the Team Leader program. For those who simply wish to be informed of the latest activities, women can sign up to become a Winning Woman. Also provided are resources and links to many women’s organizations. With a new generation of leaders and Republican women filling historic and significant roles in the Bush Administration, the RNC is making a renewed effort to win the hearts, minds, and votes of women.
