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. Political parties unify people sharing the same basic principles...this affiliation 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.
Weber County Conservatives has developed this patriot education & training opportunity for all of those interested in learning more about their elected position roles and responsibilities in the Party.
Patriot Training includes:
Our focus through February 2024 will be on the duties of the Precinct Chair running a Caucus meeting.

Patriot Training includes:
- 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.
- Understanding SB 54 (Legislation that threatens our Caucus System) Revisit the unconstitutional legislation that provided a path to the ballot as a "Republican" without delegate scrutiny or endorsement.
- Introduction to Parliamentary Procedures (Our rules of debate) Learn the basics of respectable debate and understand your responsibility as a member of a deliberative assembly.
- Being a County Delegate (Be a part of the process that determines our Party's candidates) Elect County Party leadership and vet & elect state legislative and county executive candidates.
- Being a State Delegate (Be a part of the process that determines our Party's candidates) Elect State Party leadership and vet & elect federal legislative and state executive candidates.
- Being a member of the County Central Committee (Policy making body of the Party) The Central Committee is probably the most important role as you debate, amend and vote on Party policy.
- Running an effective Caucus (Precinct Chair's role and responsibilities) Review the rules and participate in a mock Caucus meeting to learn the ropes.
Our focus through February 2024 will be on the duties of the Precinct Chair running a Caucus meeting.
