Member Engagement in the Future
AAFCS 105th ANNUAL CONFERENCE & EXPOFamily & Consumer Sciences: Global Gateway to Healthy & Sustainable Families
A high priority for affiliates and communities in the updated AAFCS model is for:
Self-forming, organic groups,
addressing a focused topic,
for a limited amount of time,
and that which involves grassroots engagements.
