Members Only Page
- Information for club members only
AzFRW has 29 clubs
throughout Arizona and our membership is approaching 1910 members. If
there is not a club near you, one can be formed if you have 10 Republican
women who are interested in joining together to form
a club.
Brief History
In 1920, under the guidance of a most interesting and energetic lady,
Mrs. J. L. B. Alexander, a small group of women met weekly for the purpose
of "study and promotion of the American system of government as
exemplified in the Republican Party principles and candidates."
The group was originally known as the Women's Republican League. In
1924, a formal constitution and bylaws were adopted which makes the
Arizona Federation of Republican Women the third oldest Republican Women's
Federation in the nation.
