Your Voice Counts!

Dr. Arthur Brooks, Social Economist and Director of the Nonprofit Studies Program at Syracuse University, studied generational differences relative to participation in associations.  Lessons from his findings show a promising future for the involvement in associations by Generation X, IF the association understands the value sought by younger professionals – and delivers it.   

That’s precisely one of the goals of the “Your Voice Counts” surveys we recently launched with both AAFCS members and non-members working in the field of family and consumer sciences (FCS).  To provide your perspective, please click on the appropriate link and submit your information by April 7, 2008.  

For AAFCS members, the survey can be accessed at:

For non AAFCS members working in the FCS field, the survey can be accessed at:https://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=XAOMMa_2fp7oM6vxV9Hudcxg_3d_3d 

Generational differences mean that we need to think about association benefits in a new way.  As an association that takes pride in our field’s research-based information, collecting data on professionals in FCS is a big step towards AAFCS developing high-value services and benefits in our “New Era of Action!”
