The 21st Annual Meeting of WWHP was held October 27, 2016, at the Worcester Historical Museum.  Reports were given and elections were held.  Steering Committee members now serving are listed at your left.  Following the business meeting, Prof. Christine M. DeLucia spoke on “The History and Culture of Northeast American Indian Women.”  The minutes are available.
