About Supreme
Supreme Session 2012
July 22-25, 2012
Grand Rapids, MI
Our International organization is known as the "Supreme Assembly," which is the ultimate governing body of the organization. The officers of Supreme Assembly are adults and guide any ritual changes, changes to Supreme By-laws, and Constitution, etc. These dedicated individuals make up the House of Gold. This prestigious group of inspirational leaders is directed by the Supreme Worthy Advisor.
Supreme Assembly refers to the International Headquarters and the Rainbow
Supreme Temple in McAlester, Oklahoma, which has a library of historical documents,
special collections of memorabilia and Rainbow treasures from around the world,
as well as a Supreme Assembly meeting room. This facility is open on a regular
basis, and all members are encouraged to visit. Assembly paraphernalia
or supplies can be ordered from the Supreme Temple.
Supreme Assembly also refers to the biennial convention that is held, gathering
Rainbow members from every Jurisdiction into one location. When Supreme Assembly
is in session, the ritual floor work is done by Grand Worthy Advisors and Past
Grand Worthy Advisors from various jurisdictions. The Supreme Assembly
Session is similar to Grand Assembly,
with more members present, and a wide variety of shared traditions and ideas.
All Jurisdictions are encouraged to attend this international convention.
At Supreme Assembly, Rainbow girls from all over the world come bringing souvenirs
from their native countries and states to exchange with other members. The
real highlight of the sessions is the model exemplification of the Ritual,
which is put on by a team of girls composed of Grand
Worthy Advisors of the
various states. These girls are among the most outstanding
girls of the Rainbow world.

Supreme Worthy Advisor
The Supreme Worthy Advisor is the Chief Executive Officer of our Order, making decisions as needed when Supreme Assembly is not in Session. She is often assisted in those duties by the Supreme Executive Board, which is composed of the seven elected officers.
Supreme Inspectors and Supreme Deputies
Each Grand Jurisdiction has a Supreme Inspector or Supreme Deputy as their Chief Executive Officer. Initially, a Supreme Deputy is appointed for the Jurisdiction by the Supreme Worthy Advisor. At such time as a Supreme Deputy is elected to the House of Gold, the title then becomes Supreme Inspector.
