The Georgia Federation affiliated with the NFRW in 1957. 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."
