CAMPAIGN VOLUNTEER AWARD TALLY SHEET

NFRW Policy for Counting Volunteer Hours (Amended March 2006)
 
The Campaign Award Program is an effective tool to demonstrate the power of Republican Federated women at the local, state and national level.  The program honors individual Clubs and State Federations that spend tremendous amounts of time volunteering (non-paid) for our Republican Party, our Republican candidates, and our Federation of Republican Women.
 
The following policy details which activities can be included in your volunteer campaign hours:
