High Desert Republican Women, as part of a state and national organization, is heavily involved in an extensive program of work. Our programs include:

• Advocacy The Advocacy Program, spearheaded by our Registered Lobbyist, allows the California Federation of Republican Women to promote those issues important to our membership. Once a year, the Federation meets in Sacramento and spends one day working with members of the California State Legislature. This is followed by the Spring Conference and Board Meeting where members, guests and students hear from legislators on progress in the State Capitol.
  What is Advocacy Day?

• Ambassadors The Ambassadors are patrons who support our advocacy program by supplying additional funding, through their membership, to LASOF, our Legislative Advocate Fund. This is separate and apart from our regular membership and associate dues. Members of the Ambassadors group receive additional benefits at State Meetings and, at the Advocacy Day, attend a special reception in their honor. For $250.00 for the year, all are welcome to join this vital part of Federation activities and keep the education of our membership alive and healthy.
