Dear Friends and Colleagues:
On behalf of the Board of Directors and the staff of the American Association of Family & Consumer Sciences (AAFCS), we are delighted to welcome you to AAFCS’ fi rst Annual Conference & Expo of our second century of success: New Century for FCS: New Challenges, New Solutions! Whether you want to learn about incorporating social media into your work, participating in the AAFCS “Taking It to the Streets” Campaign, or using the AAFCS Public Policy Toolkit to infl uence legislation, you’ll fi nd a session or event to help you grow and accomplish more. And, you’ll be among the fi rst people to see the new AAFCS website and offi cially launch the new AAFCS brand!
We encourage you to take a few moments to read our outstanding program on pages 19 – 65, which lists details for all conference sessions, meetings, and events. You’ll see that we’ve responded to attendee feedback by having more educational sessions and time blocks to increase the value of your investment. We’re also offering live presentations and self-guided tutorials in the AAFCS booth, now called “Association Central.” Topics include the new AAFCS website, Pre- Professional Assessment and Certifi cation Program, and Virtual Professional Development Program. For presentation times and titles, please review the program on Thursday and Friday.
After reviewing the program, use the Planning Page on page 11 to make the most of your time in Cleveland. If you are new to AAFCS, the First-Time Attendee and New Member Orientation on Thursday, hosted by the AAFCS Membership Committee, is a great place to learn more about the conference before you start planning.
The conference is also the ideal time to connect and share knowledge and experience with professionals from a variety of FCS practice settings and content areas. To meet with Community members or join a Community, be sure to attend “Communities Gathering and Sharing” on Thursday morning. Later that day, there will be a “Dialogue with the Directors” in the Expo where you can interact with the 2009-2010 AAFCS Board of Directors. On Friday, come to “Meet and Greet AAFCS Past Presidents” and the Open Forum to discuss important Association issues.
Thank you for choosing the AAFCS 101st Annual Conference & Expo to advance your professional development. We look forward to collaborating with you to create solutions for the “New Century of FCS”!
