Distinguished Service Award

The Distinguished Service Award (DSA) was established by the American Home Economics Association (AHEA) Foundation in 1979 as a living tribute to members of AHEA (now AAFCS) to recognize superior achievements in family and consumer sciences, outstanding contributions to the family and consumer sciences profession, and sustained association leadership at both state and national levels.

AAFCS is truly thankful to all of our past DSA Recipients, as well as our voluntary DSA coordinators and supporters.  As individuals, each exemplifies the strength and dedication of our entire membership and the best of our profession.
