Join us for this year’s Department Chairs’ Workshop on June 25–26 in Washington, DC!
The AHA’s annual Department Chairs’ Workshop is a unique professional development opportunity, gathering chairs from a range of institutions across the country to discuss strategies and best practices for leading a department. This interactive, two-day workshop provides a productive space for new and experienced chairs to hold thoughtful discussions and share insights about the issues and challenges facing historians and history departments. The workshop is an opportunity for chairs to share resources, learn from one another, and build a cohort to support their professional development.
To get a better sense of plenary topics and breakout discussions, you can browse the agendas from past workshops on the AHA website.
Register at historians.org/myaha by April 1; space is limited. Select “Register for Chairs’ Workshop” under Events. The cost for registration is $350 for AHA members, $400 for non-members. 
Registration fees help to support honoraria for facilitators and the substantial staff time required to hold this event. Refunds are available through June 15, 2026.
If you have any questions about the workshop, please contact Lauren Brand at lbrand@historians.org.
