FCS Professional Organizations: There
are many professional growth and development opportunities for family and consumer sciences teachers in Iowa! IFCSEP
( Iowa Family and Consumer Sciences Educators for Progress) is our direct-link to the umbrella organization for all career
and technical education-ACTE (Association for Career and Technical Education). The collaborative partnership between
the IFCSEP Key leaders (FCS representatives from each AEA), Kristie Kuhse (conference coordinator), and the Iowa Department
of Education, plan the state FCS teachers conference which will be held on July 25-27th, 2010 in West Des Moines.
If you aren't a member, please check out the application, IFCSEP newsletter, award nomination forms and special FCS
clothing items available and join other FCS professionals across the state! In addition, all Iowa career and technical
teachers are encouraged to become members of the national association and attend the Iowa Career and Technical Conference
(IACTE) in mid-November each year. The state president of IACTE for 2010 will be Lisa Stange, FCS teacher at Waukee!
