Abstract	In November 1903, 18 women gathered together for the Conference of Deans of Women of the Middle West. Variations of this conference were held over the following 20 years, constituting the earliest period of professional association in what was to become known as student affairs. When creating their associations, the early deans needed to consider issues of leadership, membership, and purpose that would best help them and their colleagues to do their work on their home campuses. As student affairs professionals of today ponder the challenges of structuring and reorganizing twenty-first century professional associations, they might benefit from considering the decisions of their earliest professional ancestors, gaining an appreciation for the pioneers as well as a new understanding of their own efforts.
