8 CFRW AMBASSADOR PROGRAM CALIFORNIA FEDERATION OF REPUBLICAN WOMEN The Ambassadors Program has been around since 1974 when our first Legislative Advocate, Nancy Ehlers, was appointed and the first annual Advocacy Workshop was held. She was a full-time volunteer Lobbyist representing CFRW in Sacramento. This was in response to a request from Governor Ronald Reagan. The Ambassadors Program was established to help in the funding of our legislative program to include Advocacy Workshops. Historically, the Ambassadors Program has been funded by a small group of CFRW members who paid $250 per year and were thanked for their generous contribution to the program at three receptions a year. In 2006 the membership approved a change to the Standing Rules to allow for a four-tiered program. The levels are Platinum Ambassador at $500 per year, Golden Eagle Ambassador at $250 per year, Golden Bear Ambassador at $100 per year, and Ambassador level at $50 per year. Platinum and Golden Eagle ambassadors may pay in two installments. As in the past, there are perks for those who join the Ambassador Program. Platinum Ambassadors receive one free lunch at conferences. All Ambassadors have preferred seating. Platinum Ambassadors and Golden Eagle Ambassadors have free admission to all Ambassador Events. Golden Bear Ambassadors and Ambassadors can attend Ambassador Events at a reduced rate. All Ambassadors receive identifying name badges and will be recognized in the CFRW program. Associate members may also join the program. All levels of donor support have the option of receiving the State Bulletin and Capitol Update. Thank you for your support of the CFRW ADVOCACY PROGRAM. Affiliated with the National Federation of Republican Women, we are the largest all volunteer women's partisan political organization in the country

Election Integrity Project California 4:30pm to 5:45pm Hosted by Linda Paine, President and Ruth Weiss, Vice President Are You Wondering if Your Vote Counted? So Are Most California Citizens!! When 118,522 people were left off the LA County check-in rosters (and possibly off the voter rolls) during the Primary, EIPCA educated citizens contacted the LA County Registrar in huge numbers demanding answers since many of them were turned away from the polls! Election Integrity Project California (EIPCa) was contacted by an EIPCa trained Observer early in the day which allowed us to immediately contact attorneys. Come to the Workshop to lean about the actions EIPCa is taking with Landmark Legal Foundation to resolve the issue and protect the integrity of the November elections. This workshop is not what you may have seen before. It is a streamlined, focused look at the reality of where we are with election integrity in California, and how each individual can make a difference in time for the November elections!
