National Association for Music Education
MENC: The National Association for Music Education was founded on this corner in the Westminster Presbyterian Church on April 12, 1907, during a meeting of music supervisors from fourteen states. The meeting was organized by Philip Cady Hayden, Music Supervisor for the Keokuk Public Schools. Since its founding, MENC has grown to over 120,000 members, and is the largest arts organization in the United States. This marker was dedicated on June 1, 2007, to all of the MENC founders , elected officers, members and employees over past 100 years, for their dedicated services toward achieving the MENC mission: "to advance music education by encouraging the study and making of music by all."
