Our History
On July 17, 1962, the Plano Republican Women's Club (PRWC) was organized to work for the election of Republican candidates at the local, state, and national levels. At that time, there were no Republican elected officials in Collin County and no Republican women's clubs.
Over several decades, PRWC's efforts at building the Republican Party and working for Republican candidates were important in achieving today's Republican majority in Collin County. In 2002, PRWC changed its name to “Plano Republican Women”.
Our club’s 60th Anniversary was celebrated in July 2022, and we remain committed to being an active, vibrant organization of capable women who offer time, talent, money, and leadership toward the election efforts of Republican candidates at the local, state, and national levels.
February's Speaker - Miriam Zivin
Mothers Against College Antisemitism
Miriam Zivin is the Board President of The MACA Foundation, Inc. and the Co-founder of DFW MACA
Miriam Zivin was born in Canada and has spent significant portions of her life in Texas and Israel. After completing the last two years of high school in Israel, she volunteered and served in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). Miriam earned a bachelor’s degree in elementary education from the University of Arizona in 1998, and in 2000 she obtained a master’s degree in early childhood special education from the University of Texas at Austin.
With a passion for education, Miriam taught special education for 11 years and Hebrew language at Akiba Academy in Dallas, Texas, for six years. Additionally, she is a licensed educational diagnostician.
As the mother of two, she has been actively involved in Jewish campus life across various universities. In response to the events of October 7, 2023, Miriam became aware of Mothers Against College Antisemitism (MACA), a grassroots movement that has evolved into a nationwide nonprofit organization dedicated to combating antisemitism on college campuses. She is currently the board president of The MACA Foundation, Inc.
Recognizing the importance of this mission, she became one of the founding members of the DFW MACA chapter, established in December 2024. This chapter has grown to include 90 members who are committed to protecting and advocating for Jewish students in North Texas universities. The members of this group meet monthly, both in person and online, to strategize and implement initiatives that support Jewish life on university campuses.
Miriam is dedicated to fostering a supportive environment for Jewish students and combating antisemitism, making significant contributions to the community through her work with MACA and beyond.
Miriam is married to Mitchell Zivin and is the mother of Ben (21) and Ella (19).
