3: Growth & Opportunity Inclusion Council
Formation a Growth and Opportunity Inclusion Council Other Information:
Demographic Partners -- We recommend the formation of a new Growth and Opportunity Inclusion Council within the RNC modeled
after the program founded in 1997 by the RNC. This organization would convene a minimum of four times annually for training,
sharing of ideas and assessment of the effectiveness of current strategies.
Stakeholder(s):
- Growth & Opportunity Inclusion Council: There should be a stronger grassroots program administered by the RNC to empower and support ethnic minorities in their communities.
In many of our listening sessions, participants mentioned the success of the New Majority Council of the late nineties. The
New Majority Council was founded in 1997 by the Republican National Committee. This council, in partnership with state Republican
parties and other Republican organizations, sought to capitalize on the Party's national vision of inclusion, and reflected
the Party's modern vision to expand and diversify the base of the Republican Party, both locally and nationally. The council
comprised nonwhite Americans (African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Pacific Americans, Native Americans, etc.), with
representation based on the number of electoral votes allotted per state. Additionally, the council had a Governing Board
of Directors in which members served four-year terms.
