Mission Statement

We are a global society that connects, supports and encourages women in their pursuit of fun, friendship, freedom, fulfillment and fitness.

  • Fun - we celebrate life at every age and stage
  • Friendship - we solidify and support the expansion of the bonds of sisterhood
  • Freedom - we discover and explore new interests and renew abandoned ones
  • Fulfillment – we realize our personal potential
  • Fitness - we embrace healthy, life-lengthening lifestyles

By maintaining a thriving social networking community, and offering a variety of services and group experiences, the Red Hat Society supports our Members to get the most out of life.

What do Members of the Red Hat Society do?

We enjoy a variety of fun connections online and gather in groups called chapters. With a wink in their eye, our leaders claim the royal title of Queen. We choose clever nicknames for ourselves, don regalia of red hats and purple attire for those ladies 50 and above or pink hats and lavender attire for those ladies under 50 and do exactly whatever it is that we want to do! We go to movies, the theater, window-shopping or grape stomping. We attend the RHS International Convention and events put on by other chapters. We do lunch, have teas or gather in our homes. We dress up or down. We do any activity we find interesting from NASCAR to Pirate parties.

There are as many different kinds of chapters as there are women in the society. Some may meet in the daytime, other working members may choose to gather on the weekends or at night. If you wish, once you are a member of the RHS, you may find a local chapter at your leisure.


2008 is Red Hat Society’s 10th birthday that will be celebrated all year long with 4 conventions, 2 cruises, 2 outrageous birthday parties (on April 12th), parade in London and many more surprises.


Exalted Queen Mother Sue Ellen Cooper reaches more than 125,000 Red Hatters each week through the Friday Broadcast, a personal e-mail updating members with news from Hatquarters and escapades of Red Hat Society members around the world.


Sue Ellen Cooper also sends a personal monthly broadcast to all Queens entitled Queen To Queen. This is a communique for all queens to share ideas, plans and ask questions.
