With the current status of the environment and economy, and the resulting stress on individuals, families, and communities, what research and strategies can family and consumer sciences (FCS) and allied professionals provide to help individuals, families, and communities sustain and improve their quality of life without having a negative impact on the environment? 

Come to the 100th Annual Conference & Expo, Celebrating the Past, Sustaining the Future, to work on solutions to current sustainability issues, such as designing more eco-friendly fabrics, reducing waste in food preparation, and increasing the use of recycling in homes, schools, and workplaces.  To commemorate AAFCS’ Centennial, the conference will also address the history and future of the Association and FCS profession.

Whether you participate in the conference as an attendee, presenter, leader, exhibitor, or sponsor, you’ll have the opportunity to make valuable contributions to the 100-year history of AAFCS, network with colleagues, mentors, or potential customers, and expand your expertise.  Be sure to visit this web page often for up-to-date conference information.
