Previous GFWC Annual Conventions and Board of Directors Meetings

GFWC's Annual International Convention is the premier event for active clubwomen.

GFWC held its first Annual Convention in New York City in 1890. Since then, GFWC has held conventions in nearly every state across the U.S. Bringing the convention to various communities across the country gives GFWC clubwomen from varied geographical areas the opportunity to participate in the organization's national and international efforts. Today, the GFWC Annual International Convention plays an integral part in the organization's efforts to better serve its members.

2012 GFWC Annual Convention | June 14-17, 2012

Our time in Charlotte was spent hearing from moving speakers, learning at fascinating workshops and luncheons, conducting important business, and making new friends from across the country and around the world. Many thanks to everyone who attended and supported the 2012 Convention.
