It was a great honor and privilege for the
National Federation of Republican Women to pay tribute to
President Ronald Reagan and to celebrate the Reagan Centennial
with a host of special events and programs in 2011. As then-NFRW
President Sue Lynch said, “It is impossible to put into words
just how much President Reagan means to Republican women. We
are proud to honor the man whom Americans revere as one of our
greatest and most enduring
leaders.”
President Reagan always gave his support to the Federation. He spoke at our 1975, 1981 and 1983 conventions, calling the NFRW the “pride and joy” and the “heart and soul” of the Republican Party and declaring that our members were not just the foot soldiers, but also the generals. He also welcomed our leaders to the White House on more than one occasion and invited the Capitol Regents to the Oval Office in 1987 (pictured above).
The gesture was more than enthusiastically
returned by the Federation. Republican women were instrumental
in electing President Reagan in 1980 and 1984, and supporting
his policies, optimism and vision. The Federation
continues to honor the memory of our beloved 40th president by
awarding the biennial Ronald Reagan Leadership Award to one of
our outstanding state presidents who exemplifies the same
strong, effective leadership qualities and principles as
President Reagan.
