Help us meet the challenge as a Party to keep the voice of the elected neighborhood representative relevant in a signature-gathering world.
Hello Fellow Republicans,
We are members of the same political party. Our Party unifies us as we share the same basic principles...our affiliation, properly conducted, serves as a vehicle to protect and defend our shared values.
As Republicans, we believe in the Caucus Convention system. A Caucus is a simple gathering of politically like-minded people that live in the same neighborhood or Precinct and regularly conduct meetings based on political party rules and guidelines; it is the most basic and accessible grassroots level of government.
For many years our Republican Party has encouraged participation in our caucus/convention system but has failed to adequately teach and educate those who attain elected positions of their roles and responsibilities. This has opened the door to those who wish to see our grass roots participation go away...forever.
Weber County Conservatives has developed this Patriot Education & Training opportunity for all of those interested in learning more about your elected positions and their associated roles and responsibilities in the Republican Party.
WCC Patriot Training includes:
All of these roles in the Party require a level of understanding in order to be effective, and that is where our training comes in. By introducing the process along with roles and responsibilities, we hope to install faith and confidence in each elected member’s effort to participate. We believe knowledge of your roles and responsibilities will result in our Party moving closer to our stated conservative principles.
In order to give you a better chance of participating, we will schedule training at 2 County Libraries, Ogden and Roy. All rooms are reserved from 6:00pm – 9:00pm. Training will be from 6:30pm – 8:30pm with some time for questions and lingering. All rooms will comfortably hold 80 - 100 attendees. The Public is invited. Tell a friend.

Weber County Conservatives has developed this Patriot Education & Training opportunity for all of those interested in learning more about your elected positions and their associated roles and responsibilities in the Republican Party.
WCC Patriot Training includes:
- Our Republican Platform (Our Values & Principles as a Party) Revisit the 22 planks of our Party Platform and spend a little time with the glue that holds us all together. Understand your duty to hold our elected Republican officials accountable.
- Understanding SB 54 (2014 Legislation that hijacked our Caucus System) Revisit the unprecedented attack on our Party and the unconstitutional legislation that provided a path to the ballot for anyone “declaring themselves a Republican” without delegate scrutiny or Party endorsement.
- Introduction to Parliamentary Procedures (Our rules for debate) Understand your role as a member of a deliberative assembly and learn how to speak up and out for the principles we believe in.
- Role of a County Delegate (Be a part of the process that determines our County Party's candidates) Learn the ins and outs of electing County Party leadership while vetting & electing state legislative and county executive Party candidates.
- Role of a State Delegate (Be a part of the process that determines our State Party's candidates) Learn the ins and outs of electing State Party leadership while vetting & electing federal legislative and state executive Party candidates.
- Your role as a member of the County Central Committee (The CCC is the policy making body of the County Party) The Central Committee is probably your most important role as you craft county party policy. Learn how you make motions, debate and amend those motions while voting to determine party policy.
- Running an effective Caucus (Precinct Chair's role and responsibilities) Review the rules, roles and goals of an effective caucus and participate in a mock Caucus meeting to learn the ropes.
All of these roles in the Party require a level of understanding in order to be effective, and that is where our training comes in. By introducing the process along with roles and responsibilities, we hope to install faith and confidence in each elected member’s effort to participate.
