Local Assembly
Rainbow Assemblies are sponsored by fraternal organizations such as the Masonic Lodge, Order of the Eastern Star,
Order of the Amaranth, White Shrine of Jerusalem, or Clubs comprised of members of these organizations and Majority
Members of Rainbow (our Alumni).
The Sponsoring Body selects those who will serve for one year on the Advisory Board. The Advisory Board is comprised
of Majority Members, Master Masons, Eastern Stars, Amaranth, White Shrine of Jerusalem, and members' Parents,
Grandparents, and Legal Guardians. These adults have a deep interest in helping young people, are respected leaders,
and provide the core of the directly involved adult leadership.
A Mother Advisor is selected from among the members of the Advisory Board. This is a woman chosen because she can
inspire the girls of her Assembly. She works hand-in-hand with the girls and allows them to preside over the affairs
of the Assembly with her direction.
The Assembly is comprised of 20 offices, which are occupied by the Rainbow Girls. An Installation of these officers
occurs every 4 to 6 months and is open for all to attend. Therefore, girls are given the opportunity to fill many
different positions in a short period of time.
Within these 20 offices are 7 that are elected by the girls and 13 that are appointed by the Worthy Advisor with the
assistance of the Mother Advisor. The girls elect their leader, who is called the Worthy Advisor. She presides over the meetings and workings of the Assembly. A girl may wish to advance through the elected "line" offices and eventually become the Worthy
Advisor.
Grand Assembly
Each Jurisdiction (a state, province, country, or geographic region) has its own business to conduct. These affairs are under the direction
of a Chief Executive Officer, the Supreme Inspector or Deputy of that Jurisdiction, who works with the Grand Executive
Committee of that Jurisdiction to conduct all business including preparations for the annual Grand Assembly
Sessions. Grand Assembly meetings are led by a corps of Grand Officers who are selected according to the By-Laws of each
Jurisdiction.
Supreme Assembly
Internationally, Rainbow is guided by a group of ladies and gentlemen who make up the House of Gold. This prestigious
group of inspirational leaders is directed by the Supreme Worthy Advisor. Every two years a Supreme Assembly is
held. All Jurisdictions are encouraged to attend this international convention.
The Rainbow Supreme Temple is located in McAlester, Oklahoma. This lovely building houses the offices of the Supreme
Assembly, and contains Rainbow treasures from around the world. Any Assembly paraphernalia or supplies can be ordered
from the Supreme Temple.
