We are now: MIFACS!
|
We have merged the FCS Organizations in Michigan! Michigan hosted the Michigan Association of Family and Consumer Sciences (MAFCS) and Family and Consumer Sciences Educators of Michigan (FCSEM). By merging both organizations, we hope to offer members more benefits and more opportunities for networking! We are now THE Michigan Affiliate for the National Association, AAFCS.
You can choose between the State Membership or National Membership. We hope to offer something for everyone. |
Family and consumer science (FCS) is the comprehensive body of skills, research, and knowledge that helps people make informed decisions about their well being, relationships, and resources to achieve optimal quality of life. The field represents many areas, including human development, personal and family finance, housing and interior design, food science, nutrition, and wellness, textiles and apparel, consumer issues and personal and family relationships, plus many more!

They are early childhood, elementary, secondary, university/college, and Extension educators, administrators and managers, human service professionals, researchers, community volunteers, business people, and consultants who address the issues most important to our quality of life.
