Following the Republican National Convention in 1956, Mrs. Harold McGeorge of Florida, regional director for the NFRW, and Margaret Twiggs, vice chairman of the Georgia Republican State Committee, toured the state organizing the first Republican women’s clubs in Atlanta, Macon, Rome, Americus and Blue Ridge. When General Eisenhower carried Richmond County, the Republican women were given the credit. The Georgia Federation’s first convention was held in Augusta in January 1957, and President Eisenhower wired his congratulations. One of the state’s leading newspapers, The Atlanta Constitution, said, "The two-party system in Georgia gained momentum Monday when a state-wide organization of Republican Women was formed in Augusta.” Past presidents include: Valerie Betz, 2002 Emma Hinesley, 1998 Sharon Jacoby, 1993 Reva Jennings, 1987 Sandra Deyton, 1985 Helen Von Waldner, 1983 Katherine Miller, 1979 and 1989 June Kidd, 1977 Lil McAfee, 1975 Margaret Holliman, 1971 Virginia Estes Massey, 1968 Bootsie Calhoun, 1967 Ague Miller, 1965 Mrs. W.C.
