RNCEvery election cycle each of the four regions of the Republican National Committee holds an RNC Regional Conference.

This year, Rhode Island is very proud to be the host of the RNC Regional Leadership Conference, and we look forward to a very strong showing from our Republican activists and leaders around the state.

The purpose is to inform, energize our Republican base and allow for a discussion of issues, ideas and training for Grassroots Republican Leaders throughout the Northeast. Invited are: All Grassroots Supporters, State & Local Republican Leaders, Central Committee Members, Elected Officials, Major Donors and interested Republicans.

Conference Overview

Program: Excellent line up of speakers have been invited and will likely attend:

RI Governor Donald Carcieri, VT Governor Jim Douglas, Congressman Aaron Schock of Illinois, Former Gov & WH CoS John Sununu, RNC Chairman Michael Steele, and more special guests to follow. In addition, we will have grassroots training and presentations by several well known national polling firms, national media strategists, and GOTV experts.
