The New England Paperweight Collectors Association was organized in 1977 and held its first meeting in September of that year. The first president was Frank Keaney and it was largely through the efforts of Keaney and Roger Jacobsen that the organization came into being. The president is elected for a two-year term.
Meetings are held twice a year, in the Spring and Fall for members to learn more about paperweights through topical programing.
