Administrative history

The Edmonton Teachers’ Wives’ Association was formed in March 1954 and dissolved in 1984. The purpose of the club was to develop a friendly spirit among teachers’ wives, especially those new to the city. Membership was open to wives of teachers and supervisors employed by the Edmonton Public and Edmonton Separate School Boards, wives of retired teachers and retired supervisors, and widows of teachers and supervisors. Meetings were held monthly, October through May inclusively, in the form of a supper meeting. Additional social events took place throughout the year. The administrative body of the Edmonton Teachers’ Wives’ Association consisted of an Executive Committee made up of: President, Vice-President, Recording Secretary, Corresponding Secretary, Treasurer, Social Convener, Program Convener, Publicity Convener, and Nominative Convener. A Constitution which expressed the purpose of the organization and detailed the duties of the executive was created in 1954 and amended annually. By 1983 membership in the organization had dwindled and the organization was disbanded the following year.
