Tanya Melich attended the University of Colorado and received a B.S. in Political Science in 1958, graduating cum laude with departmental and general honors. She was also elected to Phi Betta Kappa. She then attended Columbia University, receiving a master's degree in Public Law and Government in 1961.[1] At the 1988 Republican National Convention in New Orleans, Louisiana, Melich tried to remove the pro-life plank from the party platform and substitute a neutral position on abortion. She was acting at the time as the executive director of the New York State Republican Family Committee. Her proposal was shelved in the platform hearings by conservative forces led by Marilyn Thayer, a New Orleans Republican activist who chaired the platform subcommittee on family issues and who in 1996 was elected president of the National Federation of Republican Women, the party conservatives kept the pro-life language intact. Years later, Melich wrote about her experiences at the convention in her book, The Republican War Against Women: An Insider's Report from Behind the Lines.[4] Melich is considered one of the founders of the modern women's movement. In 1971 she helped organize the Manhattan Women's Political Caucus. She went on to co-found the New York State National Women's Political Caucus (NYS NWPC) in 1972. In 1973, she became affiliated with the National Women's Education Fund, the first organization designed to educate women on ways to gain political power. Melich served as the Fund's president from 1980 through 1983. Concerned with the treatment of women in American society, she wanted women's issues to have more of an impact on the Republican Party's agenda. In 1976 Melich co-founded the National Women's Republican Task Force and was instrumental in organizing the group New York State Republicans for Women's Issues. In 1984 she co-founded the New York State Republican Family Committee. Both of the organizations advocated the Republican Party to take a pro-choice stance and recognize the needs and concerns of women to a greater extent.[1] Her father, Mitchell Melich, served in the Utah State Senate,was president of the Utah Mining Association, on the Republican National Committee from Utah,the University of Utah Board of Regents and ran unsuccessfully for governor of Utah in 1964 against the Democrat Calvin L. Rampton. He was appointed by President Richard M. Nixon to serve as Solicitor of the U.S. Interior Department, 1969-73. Her mother, Doris Marie Snyder Melich,founded the first Girl Scout troop in Moab, Utah in 1946 that led to her thirty years of service to the state and national Girl Scouts. She served as a member, executive committee and president of the Utah chapter of the Arthritis Foundation,1959–82, was appointed by Pres. Gerald Ford to the National Arthritis Board, 1977–84 and was a member of the National Commission on Arthritis and Related Musculoskeletal Diseases, 1974-76. Books
