About Sparks Republican Women

Sparks Republican Women was chartered by the Nevada Federation of Republican Women and the National Federation of Republican Women in January 2006.  The focus of our club is to educate, inform, and develop relationships and friendships with Republican women.

Our monthly meetings are held at the Coney Island Bar, which is located at 2644 Prater Way Sparks, NV 89431, on the third Tuesday of each month at 5:30 p.m., where we have fantastic guest speakers on relevant topics. We have a monthly newsletter to keep members updated with current information and timely e-mails are distributed on hot topics.

We are looking for women who care about their community, are interested in issues that affect all of us, and want to learn more and get involved with our candidates and our Party.

National Federation of Republican Women (NFRW)

Founded in 1938, the National Federation of Republican Women is the largest and most influential women’s active grassroots political organization in the United States. Once an auxiliary of the Republican National Committee, the NFRW is financially and organizationally independent today, while still being recognized as the women’s arm of the Republican Party in the United States.

The members of the NFRW work to:

  • Promote an informed public through political education and activity;
  • Increase the effectiveness of women in the cause of good government;
  • Facilitate cooperation among the national, state and club organizations;
  • Foster loyalty to the Republican Party and promote its principles and candidates in all elections, including non-partisan elections; and,
  • Support Republican objectives and policies and work for the election of Republican nominees.

In working toward these objectives, the NFRW concentrates its efforts in the areas of education, communication, and legislative action as well as political recruitment, campaigning, fundraising, and training.

The NFRW is organized into 3 distinct levels – the National organization; the state federations; and the individual clubs in communities across the country. The NFRW is self-supporting. Approximately 1/3 of NFRW’s operating budget comes from membership dues and club service charges. Another 1/3 comes from major donor programs such as the NFRW Regents and Capitol Regents. The final 1/3 is raised through direct mail solicitation.

State Federations are chartered under the auspices of the NFRW but operate under their own bylaws.  Most local clubs are members of a state federation – all the individual clubs in that state bound together In Nevada, the Nevada Federation of Republican Women (NvFRW) was formed in 1961 with 3 clubs.  Nevada now has 22 individual clubs with over 1500 members.

Joining a local club is a great way to participate in the political process at the grassroots level and to network with other women in your community. By paying dues to her local club, a Republican woman automatically becomes a member of her state federation and of the National Federation of Republican Women.

Membership in the National Federation of Republican Women is an opportunity for women to find their voice and make a difference. As a member of a local club, every Republican woman has a voice in that club, as well as in both her state federation and the NFRW.

The NvFRW has 17 clubs throughout the state with over 1,500 members. Clubs organize and participate in get-out-the-vote efforts, candidate recruitment, lobbying the State Legislature, Constitutional workshops and Lincoln Day events.  Many members are active in Republican Party activities, precinct organization and Republican conventions.  Clubs and members sponsor picnics, barbeques and other events for candidates, as well as engage in community service activities that benefit senior citizens, abused women, the homeless, literacy programs and Habitat for Humanity.

Four Board of Directors meetings are held every two-year cycle – as well as the Biennial convention.  The NvFRW has an active Regents program, hosts a biennial Legislative Day, supports legislative advocacy programs and campaign management schools.
