Campaign Management School

Programs


Consider bringing the NFRW's highly-successful and acclaimed Campaign Management School to your area for comprehensive training and instruction by top-notch political experts.

When Republican women formed the NFRW in 1938, they adopted political education as one of the fledgling organization's primary objectives. Today, the NFRW effectively pursues this long-time objective by training Republicans to win elections through the highly-successful Campaign Management School (CMS) program.

With the next election quickly approaching, it is a must to bring these vital schools to your state or community.

The CMS program is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of campaigns. Schools feature top-notch political professionals and strategists who have a wide range of knowledge and experience. These experts volunteer their time to teach students the most successful ways to raise money, write winning campaign plans, organize volunteers for get-out-the-vote activities and communicate with voters.

What Do Attendees Say?

Whether your connection to a political campaign is as a candidate, a manager, a staffer or a volunteer, CMS delivers the tools needed to build Republican victories in upcoming elections. But don't just take our word for it. See what others have said:

“We believe it was imperative to bring an updated educational opportunity to Montana, and the NFRW campaign course was exactly what we needed. It was modified to our state’s needs and was packed with specific, targeted campaign planning techniques and methods. I encourage all state federations to bring the NFRW Campaign School to their state.”
- Beth Cargo, Montana Federation president

"Thank you, NFRW, for a well-organized meeting that was taught by experienced individuals that were experts in their fields. As my Republican State Central Committee develops and recruits candidates, I know I can highly recommend that they spend a couple of days in your class and as a result, I know they will be more effective at running their campaigns and ultimately at winning Republican seats in all levels of government."
- Jerry Walker, elected to the Republican State Central Committee, Anne Arundel County District 33, Maryland

"As a career prosecutor, I knew I had the credentials and track record to win. What I was missing was the political knowledge necessary to run an effective campaign. NFRW's Campaign School gave me just that...a game plan and a resource that I referred to throughout the election."
- J. Charles Smith III, elected state's attorney for Frederick County, Maryland

"The NFRW School was helpful in terms of organizing my thinking about the campaign and reinforcing my belief in voter contact."
- Susan Shaw, elected county commissioner for the 2nd election district in Calvert County, Maryland
