Board of Directors and Officers of the Gertrude & Morrison Parker West Side Republican Club

Jean Blevins, Vice President

Jean Blevins is a business owner in NYC and has been with the West Side Republican Club for over 15 years. She has served as the Club’s vice president as well as a former meeting coordinator. She has seen the club grow from a few attendees to now over one hundred and continuing to grow. She feels our voices must be heard in order to keep our freedom, especially in today’s environment, and many voices are stronger than one. Come join us!



Marion DS Dreyfus

Her career encompasses extended tenures as a journalist, film and theatre critic, and has been a professor of literature and writing in Colombia, Costa Rica, The People’s Republic of China, Thailand and Hong Kong as well as the United States.

Marcia Drezon-Tepler, President


Marcia Drezon-Tepler, founder of Language Masters, is a published writer and editor, specializing in the Middle East, military affairs and terrorism. She’s been especially active in Republican politics since 2008 and currently works at New York City’s Board of Elections. By engaging speakers who attract large audiences and new members, Marcia has successfully raised the club’s profile. Hoping to encourage greater Republican registration, Marcia shares the fact that she was a Democrat until that party left her. She realized that it no longer made sense to remain a Democrat in order to vote in that party’s primaries, for one Democrat is worse than another. The Republican Party needs support, and Marcia works hard to help.
