The Ohio Federation of Republican Women (OFRW) honored Audra Bean at its Biennial Tribute to Women event. Bean is a member of the Champaign County Republican Women’s Club (CCRWC), which nominated her for the recognition. Carrie Almond, president of the National Federation of Republican Women (NFRW), assisted in honoring Bean.

“The women honored by the OFRW are outstanding examples of Republicanism in the OFRW and their local communities,” said OFRW President Lyn Bliss. “The Tribute to Women event honors unit club members who have given their time and talent to promote Republican candidates and values. In addition to supporting the election of excellent candidates – criteria for being honored may include things such as serving in government offices, accomplishing meaningful results in professional life, successfully rearing families and volunteering in civic and/or church organizations.”

She functions as a liaison with the board of trustees. As a member of senior management, she supervises administrative staff in regional offices as well as the Urbana corporate office. She is also CRSl’s safety and health chair.
