The Illinois Association for Home and Community Education continues to cross the boundaries when providing unique and inventive ideas for our lessons to learn current, researched information. State and county officers are provided with information that inspires them to work support and promote the community in which they live. Members attending will be choosing from an abundance of lessons and workshops. This information will be taken back to their own communities to share with members and guests who did not attend the conference.
