A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

BFRW- A Diamond Award Club

 

Recording Secretary Dixie Riepl, 2nd VP Pat Moore-Carroll, Legislative Committee Chair Susan Hodgers, and I attended the National Federation of Republican Women’s 43rd Biennial Convention on Saturday, September 27, 2025, in Orlando. With more than 1,000 Republican women from across the country gathered, the energy in the room was incredible and truly inspiring.

Thanks to all of our volunteer work over the past two years, BFRW proudly earned the Diamond Award — congratulations to all of you!

That said, there’s always room to grow. Many clubs across the nation are accomplishing amazing things. During the last election cycle alone, NFRW members made approximately 4 million phone calls and contributed over 11 million volunteer hours to campaigns and community efforts.

With over 60% of Brevard County’s population being veterans or from military families, our next goal should be to aim for the Armed Services Award. There are also many other honors we can pursue, including Caring for America, American Patriot, Public Relations, and more.

These awards are not just titles to display or words to brag about — they are symbols of our collective hard work, dedication, and the meaningful impact we make together. Each recognition tells a story of service, unity, and commitment to conservative values.

Let’s continue to raise the bar, building on our Diamond Award success, and show that BFRW remains a powerful, dynamic force for Republican women and conservative principles in Brevard County.
