Kathy Adams, Deana Holiday-Ingraham, Shalonda Hubbard, Sara Henderson met in summer of 2013 to discuss the inception and value of a Democratic women's chapter in South Fulton County. They strategized, defined service areas, and drafted bylaws. Life got in the way and the organization and establishment of the chapter was tabled.
 
In the spring of 2014 Kathy Adams identified Cassandra Jackson, Melissa Floyd, Helen Willis, and Keona Jones. Together they worked to move the establishment and chartering of SMDWC forward.

Ongoing work continued, and in the fall of 2014 the bylaws were finalized, adopted on 9/13/14, and the chapter was then chartered under Georgia Federation of Democratic Women. Following, on 9/17/14 the chapter was registered with the Democratic Party of Georgia.
 
The following South Fulton citizens were identified and elected to serve in the inaugural leadership capacities leveraging their talents; Cassandra Jackson served as Chair, Melissa Floyd served as Vice Chair, Helen Willis served as Treasurer, and Keona Jones served as Secretary.

In January of 2015 Melissa Floyd was elected as the second presiding president of South Metro Democratic Women's Council. All the days forward, the following leaders moved the organization forward.
