 Looking Back - Moving Forward- 2010 AHEA Conference

April 15-17, 2010, Red Deer, Alberta

75 for 75…. the 2010 AHEA Conference will celebrate the 75th anniversary of our association.  We would be thrilled if we had 75 home economists/human ecologists in attendance.  Please consider coming and also inviting a former colleague or classmate or even a friend who might be interested in the program.

We plan to start the conference on Thursday evening by attending the dinner theatre at the Black Knight Inn.  This could be a celebration party, a reunion or perhaps just a Christmas gift to yourself!  We will be asking for confirmation of attendance by January 15.  The dinner theatre is $60 or, if you like, the hotel is offering a package of a double occupancy room and theatre ticket for $119.79 per person.  The play is called "Heat-stroke", classified as a comedy thriller taking place at a Spanish villa.
