PRESIDENT'S BIOGRAPHY

Christine Peters is the current President of the NH Federation of Republican Women. She is also a past President of the Nashua Area Federated Republican Women’s Club. She has been active in this Federation, including service as Historian, Sunshine chair, and Hospitality, since graduating from Bob Jones University in 1998 with a B.A. in Guidance and Counseling.

She taught for South Merrimack Christian Academy until the first of her four children was born. In addition to home schooling a second grader, two kindergarteners and a preschooler, she teaches classes in the community for other home schooling families, especially focusing on History and Social Studies. She recently taught a group of Elementary students about the electoral process, using Peter and Cheryl Barnes’ book: "Woodrow For President."

She has been active in campaigning since she attended a Reagan Event as a 7 year old in 1983. Being able to see the President of the United States as he campaigned for re-election in NH gave her a tremendous respect for the First in the Nation Primary-a key NH tradition. She worked on both of President George W. Bush’s Campaigns in NH. She also has worked on many local State Representative Campaigns. She is currently working to recruit NH women to run for Public Office and equipping them with the resources needed to win these seats.

She is a member of the Hillsborough County Republican Committee and was a delegate to the NH GOP in 2007. She currently sits on the Executive Board of the NH GOP. She is committed to upholding the planks of the Republican Platform, in order to assure continued freedom and stability to the generations that will follow us.

FEDERATION HISTORY

Established in 1944, the New Hampshire Federation consists of eight clubs (see below). NHFRW members are proud of New Hampshire being First In The Nation and are working with our Republican leaders to ensure we remain so. As First In The Nation, all clubs and members are busy hosting and introducing potential presidential candidates visiting the Granite State to our residents.

NHFRW is proud of hosting the Lilac Luncheon for more than 50 years. This annual event attracts prominent figures as guest speakers and receives national coverage.

Community outreach is a major part of each club's agenda. Members have collected school supplies for Afghani children, worked in soup kitchens, volunteered at hospice, worked with middle schools to introduce various career opportunities and supported our troops in Iraq in numerous ways.
