HEAD MISTRESSES ASSOCIATION OF THE EAST, FOUNDED IN 1911 to provide an opportunity for the furtherance of mutual acquaintance among heads of secondary or elementary schools for the interchange of ideas of common interest or looking toward the advancement of standards.

Governance and Leadership

The organization is led by a volunteer board, all heads of member schools, and staffed by a very part time Executive Director. Our principal activity is our annual fall conference, with a special goal of assuring a warm, collegial welcome for all members.

We gather for two days, from late afternoon on the third Sunday in November and depart at noon on Tuesday.
