The Nineteenth Divisional Meeting of the HEAD was held 2022 March 13-17, at the William Penn Omni, Pittsburgh, PA. The William Penn Omni is an historic hotel, first opened in 1916, a Pittsburgh landmark, and rumored to be haunted (stay away from the 22nd floor). It was designed by renowned architects Benno Janssen, and Franklin Abbott. Built by Henry Clay Frick, one of Pittsburgh’s wealthiest industrialists, the hotel combines the style of the great Old World hotels of Europe with the sophisticated technology offered by the 21st century. Please see the photos from the meeting, taken by the "court photographer" Felix Fuerst.

The Eighteenth Divisional Meeting, 2020 September 13-17, Tucson, AZ; Cancelled. The 18th Divisional meeting of the High Energy Astrophysics Division was scheduled to be held at the JW Marriott Tucson Starr Pass Resort & Spa.  However, Due to the corona virus pandemic, this meeting has been cancelled.  The HEAD Executive Committee considered holding the 18th meeting as a meeting-in-a-meeting at the 238th AAS meeting in June 2021 in Anchorage.  However, since the decision was made that the 238th meeting will be held online because of the CoVID pandemic, the HEAD Executive Committee has decided not to participate in the virtual meeting.  Thus we made the decision to cancel the 18th Divisional meeting
