NBRA Has Successful Inaugural Conference
Washington, D.C. -August 18, 2005 – The National Black Republican Association held its inaugural planning meeting and press announcement Monday, August 15th. Interim board members, along with grassroots activists representing many states, discussed strategy and set goals for the new organization’s direction. Interim Vice Chairman Don Scoggins stressed the importance of grassroots activism for the NBRA’s success:
“Thanks to each of you for helping to make our August 15th planning conference a resounding success! This was a team effort, and our success ultimately begins with how well we all work together. The NBRA is a bottom up instead of a top down organization. It is important that those on the ground remain instrumental in the planning and success of the NBRA.”
After the press conference, interim Chairman Frances Rice hit the ground running, accepting numerous interview requests from print and visual media outlets around the country interested in the NBRA’s explosive growth.
“The media blitz the conference generated has been nothing short of astonishing. This is a new day in American politics, and the NBRA is here to help change the political dynamics in black communities across the country, from coast to coast," said Chairman Rice.
RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman applauded the NBRA’s successful conference.
"In reaching out to African Americans to give them a choice, what the NBRA is doing is more important than what I am doing."
