Theme:  Collaborating as a Preventative Force for Lifelong Wellness

2026 Wyoming & Colorado Associations of Family & Consumer Sciences

November 6-7, Laramie County Community College, Cheyenne, WY

Plan to join your fellow Family and Consumer Sciences professionals, other organizational professionals, and the public to focus on how we can collaborate to strengthen our power to prevent problems such as chronic diseases, financial insecurity, mental health problems, and increase sustainability. 

Instead of responding to consequences and symptoms of problems, we will stress the knowledge and skills needed to identify causal problems impacting individuals, families, and communities.

Details are coming together and you will receive more information soon. For all who traveling from a distance to Cheyenne on Thursday for a full day of sessions, exhibits, creative displays, research and project posters, and impact stories on Friday and Saturday. Connecting with fellow professionals and local partners the conference will focus on preventing problems. Look forward to interactive discussions, professional development workshops, and valuable, interesting networking, and collaborative opportunities. 

Stay tuned for registration details!
