President’s message
The Alaska Federation of Republican Women was founded in 1962 and next year, 2012, we will celebrate 50 years of hard work, faithfully raising thousands of dollars, and electing many Republicans at all levels of representation.
As the AFRW our objectives are very clear, and they have provided the road map for over 50 years. They are:
• To promote an informed electorate through political education;
• To increase the effectiveness of women in the cause of good government through active political participation;
• To recruit and promote Republican women of all elective and appointive offices, local state and national;
• To promote loyalty to the Republican Party and its ideals and principles;
• To support the objectives and policies of the Republican National Party, the Alaska Republican Party and to work for the election of Republican Party nominees.
I am very excited about starting my term of office as President by encouraging the Board of Directors and Clubs to focus their energy, time and money on electing Republicans. We have opportunities to excel and be more successful than ever before. We can increase club membership, increase club bank accounts, and increase our communication with the use of technology. All of this will lead to greater numbers of Republican elected officials in our state, and specifically more women.
My primary goal as your new president is to “fix” the Alaska State Senate, support Governor Parnell, and defeat Mark Begich in 2014. Every project and subject must compliment that goal.
I look forward to serving you and please do not hesitate to call text or email me at any time. I am honored to serve as the new President of an absolutely awesome group of Republican Women. We are truly the “Heart of the Party” as the Alaska Federation of Republican Women.
Respectfully, Rhonda Boyles

In Alaska, the Mat-Su Republican Women’s Club was organized in the 1940’s and became affiliated with the National Federation of Republican Women before the Alaska Federation was established in 1962. Both Ketchikan and Juneau had active Republican Women’s clubs in the 1950’s. Today, the 500+ member Alaska Federation has nine clubs around the state.
The Alaska Federation of Republican Women (AFRW) recruits, educates, trains, supports and elects Republicans. Members participate in fundraising and campaign activities that inform people about our candidates, issues and Republican values.
We are committed to strengthening our Republican Party, empowering Republican women and creating a better future for our children and grandchildren.
In addition to working on political campaigns, the AFRW hosts events for Alaska’s Congressional delegation, our Republican Governor and Administration and our Republican state legislators. We also participate in the Barbara Bush Literacy Project, support our troops fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan and we raise funds to support these and projects.
