NFRW Hosts Fall Convention in
Louisville
Local Republican Leader Prepares for
2014 Elections
LOUISVILLE,
Ky. – Lyn Bliss, a local
resident joined more than 1,275 other Republican women leaders from
across the
nation Sept. 19-22 at the National Federation of Republican Women’s
37th
biennial convention, which focused on leadership training in
preparation for
the 2014 midterm elections.
Bliss
is secretary of the Darke County
Republican Women’s Club, First Vice-president of the Ohio Federation of
Republican Women, and serves on the Board of Directors of the National
Federation of Republican Women.
During
the four-day event, which was
one of the largest national gatherings of Republicans this year,
registrants
participated in a series of leadership training seminars in the areas
of
outreach, community, campaigns, fundraising, and message development
taught by
nationally-recognized experts. They heard from Republican leaders,
elected
officials and other notable guests, including Senate Republican Leader
Mitch McConnell
(R-KY), former Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao, Rep. Renee Ellmers
(R-NC),
Republican National Committee Co-Chair Sharon Day, and noted filmmaker
Dinesh
D’Souza.
“Ohio
was so credibly represented by 24
Ohio ladies, all of whom will become greater Republican leaders due to
the
fantastic information and classes provided at the NFRW’s 37th
Biennial.” said
Bliss. “Kentucky, Louisville and Churchill Downs were great hosts for
the
event. The socializing was just an added benefit that allowed all of us
to get
to know one another better and form relationships for future Republican
efforts!”

of active members in local clubs across the nation and in several U.S.
territories, making it one of the largest women’s political
