nds. The Conner Harrington Republican Women's Club was organized in the home of its Interim President Gladys Harrington in 1971. There were 16 original members. The club was renamed in honor of the late Conner Harrington, Plano Mayor, State Republican Executive Committeman, and son of Gladys Harrington. The club began its night meetings to provide an opportunity for working women with small children to become involved in the political process in Collin County. It was soon dubbed "The Night Club." The charter members of the CHRW decided early on that all business would be conducted in open meetings in order to include all members in the business of the club. Out of this membership evolved leadership in the Republican Party of Texas and TFRW, as well as local and statewide elected officials. CHRW has won the National Federation of Republican Women Diamond Award and the Texas Federation Award of Excellence since their inception. These awards symbolize political and community service at its highest level. From a membership of 16 to it's present membership level, CHRW has taken its place as one of the most vital and energetic clubs in the state. That same vitality, congeniality, and camarederie that existed in the initial meeting continues to exemplify its ever-changing membership blending youth and experience into a dynamic organization.
