RWuc OFFICERS
Brenda Martin, PresidentI have been a Republican for the last few decades. I come from the corporate world as a buyer. I have been involved in many functions including being a board member for The Revlon Walk EIF for 10 years, multiple teams and boards for cancer, MS and cystic fibrosis. I am also on the Putnam County Republican Party board. I'm a Christian, wife, mother and grandmother and want to see a healthy America for all Americans.
Kim Vondra, Vice-President With family roots in Tennessee dating back prior to 1800, I am a volunteer to the core. After a successful professional career spanning 45 years, including owning two businesses, I am now retired and focused on church, family and nonprofit service. With a husband, two children, four grandchildren and a revolving door of rescue dogs, there is seldom a quiet moment - and that's exactly how I like it.
Kelley McNeal, Secretary
Vice-TreasurerOPEN
Connie Bellamy, TreasurerI am a lifelong resident of this area, Christian, proud mother of four, grandmother of nine, and someone who overcame poverty to achieve the American Dream. As the only high school graduate among five siblings, I went on to earn nursing qualifications and built an extensive career in health care, serving in roles from bedside nurse to senior leadership, including VP/CNO and interim hospital CEO. I have also worked in clinical operations, risk management and quality oversight for various health care corporations nationally and held key positions in professional organizations. My political journey began as a Democrat but shifted to Republican in 2000, and I have remained actively involved in local conservative causes ever since. I now serves on the Putnam County Republican Party’s Executive Committee and am committed to maintaining strong values and community well-being for future generations.
Mary Kay Ruwette, Vice- SecretaryAfter spending the last decade in Arizona where I served as the communication specialist for the Republican Women of Wickenburg and held the position of Precinct Committeeman for our area, my husband and I have now made Monterey our home. I'm a lifelong Republican and my career prior to retirement was in Human Resources. I am a Christian, wife, mother and grandmother. I was excited to find a Republican Women's group in the area and I hope to help the club grow and support the Republican party in our county and state.
