FCS Leader Insights - American Association of Family & Consumer Sciences (AAFCS)


As part of Transforming AAFCS: New Era of Action

Structure
Proposed Communities of Interest and/or Practice
Results of Senate Action June 24, 2006

Proposed Recommendations
Effective May 1, 2007

  • Eliminate current structure of sections and divisions.
  • Encourage Communities of Interest/Practice to form, using the member management system via the new online data bank technology.
  • Encourage the Communities to self-form online, based on common interests in their data profiles. They can select from a variety of special projects, policy issues, research projects, or a desire for action on current issues that promote the mission of AAFCS. Communities would exist only as long as interest persists or until the project is completed.
  • Encourage Communities’ leaders to emerge naturally. Team members would change as needed, and communities would function under the purview of the Board of Directors.
