As a retired secondary educator, I’m
particularly thrilled about the empha-
sis on FCS educators in this year’s
conference. The shortage of quali-
fi ed professionals to fi ll positions has
increased signifi cantly in recent years
and now is the time to collectively take
action. I also appreciate the opportu-
nities to stay fi t during the conference.
Registration is open for the confer-
ence! The full registation rate now
includes the “Sun & Sandals” Wel-
come Reception Wednesday evening,
FCS “Great Conversations” Friday
lunch, and the Saturday Pacesetter
luncheon. You’ll also see additional
breakfast, lunch, and dinner events
and educational excursions that are
AAFCS head-
quarters has been
buzzing. Plans are
complete for our
106th Annual Con-
ference and Expo,
Family & Consumer
Sciences: Advanc-
ing the Field with
New Technology,
June 24-27, 2015, in Jacksonville, FL.
I love the conference theme since
technology integration has been im-
portant to me throughout my career.
I also like the organization of the
educational sessions on Thursday and
Friday into these concurrent tracks:
• Impact of Technology on
Emotional, Physical and
Financial Well-Being
• Teaching and Learning in a
Digital Age
• Online Strategies for Advocacy,
Awareness and Engagement
• Enabling Leadership Through
Technology
• Advancing FCS Through
Research, Accountability and
Public Information
• Best Practices for Recruiting
and Developing FCS Educators
(Thursday only)
In addition, there are exciting new
events during the conference:

take advantage of all the wonderful
opportunities in Jacksonville!
And there’s more news to share. During
the February Board Conference Call,
we received a detailed report on the
impact of our fi rst Family & Consumer
Sciences Day. We had 18 partners and
104,583 commitments to “Dining In” in
all 50 states, 17 countries, and every
continent. The day was promoted using
our website, email, direct mail, in-person
promotion, and our social media sites.
The nine FCS Day Livestream segments
are posted at www.youtube.com/aafcs.
FCS Day 2014 was the largest audience
FCS professionals have ever reached in
one day. After such success, the Board
voted to declare the second FCS Day
on December 3, 2015. The theme will
be “Dining In” and you have ten months
to plan. Our message is important and
we need to share it with others. Involve
clients, colleagues, and policymakers in
your practice setting. Engage individu-
als, families, and communities to make a
difference in their lives!

Spring Webinars:Free to Members! By Daila Boufford, AAFCS Director
of Professional Development and
Market Research
Your Professional AAFCS membership in AAFCS now gets you even more value with free access to live webinars! Not a Professional
member? Upgrade today!
Tuesday, February 24th at 4:00pm Eastern TimeDeveloping a LiveBinder as a
Teaching Resource in Family and
Consumer Sciences
A LiveBinder is the easiest way to
organize all of your educational
resources online. LiveBinders not
only replace the old 3-ring binder,
but also open up new opportuni-
ties for collaborating, organizing,
and sharing that were never possi-
ble before. Appropriate for use by
colleagues and students, Cynthia
Miller will share the benefi ts of this
tool that has many applications for
those in and out of the classroom.
Wednesday, March 4th at 4:00pm Eastern TimeElder Financial Exploitation within
the Family System: What Fam-
ily Members’ Experiences Reveal
about the Causes, Consequences,
and Perpetrators
The risks today far exceed the
familiar lottery scams and fraudu-
lent phone calls. Although those
criminal acts are still in use today,
new threats have emerged that
can strip vulnerable seniors from
their ability to make fi nancial and
medical decisions in their best
interest. Join our webinar, featur-
ing a team of highly regarded and
knowledgeable experts, to learn
more about what you can do to
protect aging loved ones.
Tuesday, March 24th at 4:00pm Eastern TimeEducating the Whole Family:
Extending School Wellness Educa-
tion to Parents and Caregivers
Nutrition education has been and
will continue to be a hot topic, giv-
en the nation’s childhood obesity
epidemic. Unfortunately, building
the bridge between classroom
education and in-home practice
can be diffi cult. AAFCS is excited
to feature the Bubble Founda-
tion, which is working to integrate
student and parent education
through the use of community
education events. Learn how you
can implement similar programs at
your school/community center and
share ideas on lessons learned.
Tuesday, April 7th at 4:00pm Eastern TimeThe Impact of the Economy on the
Family: Taking it to the Streets for
Strategies and Solutions
Is it possible to make frugality fun?
The AAFCS Taking it to the Streets
team is planning a resource-
packed webinar that will show you
how to have fun and be creative
while saving money! Based on the
highly popular Resourcefulne$$
sessions at the Annual Confer-
ence, this webinar will highlight
actions you can take to re-use old
items, recycle common goods,
and save money while shopping.
Tuesday, April 14th at 7:00pm Eastern TimeGrant Writing: Where is the Cash?
Where do I start? What type of
grant am I looking for? What if
I do all that work and don’t get
it? These are common questions
that arise when you are starting
the grant writing process. Fortu-
nately, Sharon Baillie, 2011 AAFCS
National Teacher of the Year, has
agreed to share her expertise in
this area. With over $90,000 in
awarded grant money so far, Ms.
Baillie has advice, strategies, and
tips for how to make grant writing
easier, effi cient, and more
rewarding.
Tuesday, April 21st at 7:00pm Eastern TimeSocial Media and Advocacy
Advocating for family and consum-
er sciences programs and curricu-
lum is more important than ever.
It is the responsibility of each and
every one of us to step up and do
our part to advocate for our fi eld.
In 2012, Sharon Hoelscher Day
presented an excellent webinar,
“Critical Personal and Professional
Advocacy Skills,” that covered
many of the fundamentals of advo-
cacy. Ms. Day is following up on
that presentation with an update
on how we can utilize social media
tools to expand our reach, engage
the public, and support those who
have dedicated their professional
careers to improving the lives of
individuals, families and
communities.
Wrong day/time? No worries
-- all webinars are archived for on-
demand viewing. And, if you are
an AAFCS Professional member,
you get complimentary access to
the archived recording for the fi rst
48 hours after the live event! You
must register in advance to gain
access to them.
But wait -- there’s more! Due to
popular demand, AAFCS is now
offering an Annual Training Pass at
a discounted rate to all members.

Public Policy Committee Transitions to Community By Sharon Hoelscher Day, CFCS,
Chair, (formerly) AAFCS Public
Policy Committee and (now)
Public Policy Community
2014 was an exciting year. The
fi rst Family & Consumer Sciences
Day was held in December. The
AAFCS Public Policy Committee
offered advocacy and civility train-
ing in St Louis and online. Over the
years, the Public Policy Committee
has offered a wide variety of public
policy and public issues training
and resources.
The AAFCS Public Policy Commit-
tee is winding down and became
a Public Policy Community in
January 2015. One benefi t of be-
coming a new Community is that
ANYONE who is interested in
public policy can join. Our group
has worked diligently over the
years on expanding and building
the public policy education
resources online at AAFCS,
including:
• Deliberation guides and
advocacy resources at
www.aafcs.org/Advocacy
• Public Policy Toolkit accessed through
MyAAFCS. Log in at
www.aafcs.org (upper right
corner). Select “Member
Information and Resources”
and then “Member Only
Resources” to access the
Toolkit.
• Resolutions are posted at
www.aafcs.org/Advocacy/
Resolutions.asp. Please
contact our Community if
you would like help with
developing your resolutions.
We also recruited and selected
21st Century Community Champi-
on and Friend of the Family award-
ees and the Chalkley-Fenn Public
Policy Visiting Scholar.
Current projects include:
• Starting a new speakers
bureau for regional or state
conferences on advocacy,
policy and public issues,
which can be available
either live by internet, phone,
or in person.
• Partnering with other
Communities on special
public policy efforts and
resolutions.
• Providing advocacy
training including a Social
Media and Advocacy
webinar in April 2015.
• Identifying state partners to
review the FCS teacher
shortage designation in each
state.
The Chalkley-Fenn Pub-lic Policy Visiting Scholar Award will be awarded in
June 2015. Please
encourage qualifi ed members
in your affi liate to apply for this
outstanding opportunity when it
is awarded every 2-3 years. The
guidelines are posted at www.
aafcs.org/Advocacy/Awards.asp.
The Chalkley-Fenn Public Policy
Visiting Scholar Award is sup-
ported by the interest of an en-
dowment based on donations by
many of you. You or your affi liate
donations will make it possible to
continue this award more often in
the future. Currently the endow-
ment is not large enough to award
the Chalkley-Fenn Public Policy
Visiting Scholar Award every year.
If you would like to support it, go
to MyAAFCS and select “Make
YOUR Difference Today” and add
your donation in any dollar amount
for Chalkley-Fenn!
If you are interested in public
policy issues, I hope you will be-
come part of our new Community.
Please let us know if you have any
questions, suggestions, need pub-
lic policy resources, or would like
to join us for a future conference
call. All of us interested in fami-
lies and public policy are looking
forward to a productive and
exciting year.

Council for Accreditation Accredits Four UnitsBy Billie J. Collier, Council for
Accreditation Chair
During the Fall 2014 meeting, the
AAFCS Council for Accreditation
granted accreditation to four units.
Accreditation is granted following
review and consideration of the
Self-Study Report, the report of the
site visit team, and the institution’s
response to the site visit report.
Southern University at New Orleans’ Department of Child Development and Family Studies under the lead-
ership of Chair and Director Pame-
la E. Wanga, Ph.D. was granted
accreditation for the fi rst time.
This department provides a quality
curriculum that incorporates the
Family and Consumer Sciences
Body of Knowledge, supports
faculty professional development
opportunities, and advocates for
students and their needs. Follow-
ing devastation from Hurricane
Katrina, the Unit established a
respected academic program that
meets the needs of the community
and is integral to the mission and
strategic plan of the institution.
The University of Tennes-see – Martin’s Department of Family and Consumer Sciences with leadership from
Chair Sue G. Byrd was granted ac-
creditation. The Chair and faculty
members are forward thinking in
exploring new options for future
growth and are student-focused.
Faculty members engage students
in a variety of scholarly and out-
reach activities.
The North Carolina A&T State University Department of Family and Consumer Sci-ences with leadership from Chair
Valerie L. Giddings was granted
accreditation. The Unit is unique
on campus because of their inte-
grating focus and inter-relationship
of people and people with their
environment. Faculty members
are dedicated, committed, and go
the extra mile to meet the needs of
students.
Southeastern Louisiana University’s Family and Con-sumer Sciences Program
with leadership from Program Co-
ordinator Holly Kihm was granted
accreditation. The administration
understands and is supportive of
the Family and Consumer Sci-
ences Unit’s relevancy to the uni-
versity, college, department, and
community. Faculty members are
student-oriented and caring.
Congratulations!
Attend the Accreditation Pre-Conference in Jacksonville!By Billie J. Collier, Council for
Accreditation Chair
The Council for Accreditation an-
nounces a special opportunity at
the AAFCS 106th Annual Confer-
ence in Jacksonville for units con-
sidering accreditation or reaccred-
itation. We will offer a one-day pre-conference workshop on Wednesday, June 24. The pro-
gram, beginning at 9:00 a.m. and
ending at 5:00 p.m., will focus on
preparing a Self-Study Report and
what is involved in the accredita-
tion process.
In the morning, Fran Andrews
will guide participants step-by-
step through the development of
a Self-Study Report. Handouts
and ample time for questions are
designed to support you as the
self-study report evolves. In the
afternoon, a Self-Study Fair will
provide opportunity for one-on-one
interaction and extended discus-
sion with colleagues who have
recently completed self-studies.
A new feature this year is a Site Visit Fair, along the same lines,
where the schedule and content
of site visits can be explored
and discussed with experienced
professionals. Additionally, current
Council for Accreditation members
will be available throughout the
day to engage with participants
and share their insights.
Come join us and fi nd out every-
thing you always wanted to know
about AAFCS accreditation.
