BAXTER COUNTY REPUBLICAN WOMEN
April 20, 2023
MINUTES
Be it resolved that this group of conservative, patriotic Republican women create a new Political Action Committee (PAC) to be named Baxter County Republican Women (BCRW). We are to be governed with Bylaws approved and modeled after those of the State of Arkansas Federation of Republican Women and the National Federation of Republican Women but most importantly that we are blessed by the will of God and that our endeavors are pleasing in His sight. We are to be guided by His Holy Spirit in all we do to further the independent nature that He has instilled in us. Motion was made by Mary Ellen Anderson to accept and approve this resolution, seconded by Nancy Lewis, and the motion carried.
By consensus we appoint the following officers to act on our behalf until such time as the Bylaws are ready for adoption and elections held, not to exceed 120 days, and the following actions for establishing the group proceed.
President: Sandy Nelson
Vice President: Mary Ellen Anderson
Secretary/Treasurer: Nancy Lewis
That said officers are authorized to open a checking account for this organization at Centennial Bank with said officers as signers. Two signatures will be required per check.
That a Post Office Box be rented in the name of the BCRW.
That we immediately begin to recruit new members who believe in the Arkansas Republican platform.
That all members have a voice and are encouraged to speak their thoughts.
That as an organization we look for, identify, and encourage women to be involved in making a difference in politics from grass roots positions on up and we promote and develop their skills to run for offices.
That filing with the Secretary of State proceeds as soon as information and documentation are obtained.
Respectfully prepared and submitted.
Nancy M. Lewis
Secretary/Treasurer
