Our world has changed in many ways in the last six months, spotlighting the relevance of Family & Consumer Sciences for everyone. AAFCS is faced with new realities and possibilities and as an affiliate leader, you are, too. You're invited to the 2020 Fall Leadership Workshop, “Family & Consumer Sciences: Leading Effectively in a Virtual World,” where we’ll connect and learn with each other, working towards these objectives in our fully virtual workshop:
- Reinvigorate, rediscover, or adapt your leadership style to meet today’s world.
- Meaningfully communicate the value of family and consumer sciences online, reaching new audiences for increased membership and engagement.
- Conduct affiliate business effectively online and off, and
- Strengthen and build relationships with fellow AAFCS leaders, sharing ideas for maximum output and fostering continued collaboration.
