About the HIghland Rim District
The Highland Rim District is comprised of nine GFWC Woman's Clubs throughout Middle Tennessee. The District was named for one of the major geological features of this region, the Highland Rim of the Cumberland Plateau.
Member clubs rotate hosting duties for the spring and fall District meetings. The fall meeting is usually organizational and informational while the spring meeting is devoted to the GFWC Short Story and Poetry Awards, and the Arts and Crafts competitions.
Terms of officers for the Highland Rim District mirror those for both the GFWC and the GFWC of Tennessee. Officers are elected and chairs are appointed for two year terms.
