This website contains
information on the sixty-nine people who founded the Music
Educators National Conference (then the Music Supervisors'
Conference) in Keokuk, Iowa in 1907. Today, the MENC
is a highly influential organization of more than 70,000 members.
The organization's approaching centennial makes this an
especially appropriate time to look back at the founders.
