The fourth annual WICFR state conference, April 11-13, at Great Wolf Lodge in Wisconsin Dells was a great success.

Each year at our fall conference, MCFR presents two awards.

The Illinois Council on Family Relations held its annual conference on April 12 at the Hilton Garden Inn in Champaign, Illinois. The theme was “Family Well-being” and we welcomed proposals on any aspect of well-being (e.g., physical, mental, social, emotional, spiritual).

I recently attended the Nonprofit Technology Conference along with other NCFR staff members. It proved to be a very worthwhile experience in helping me get a better grasp of all things related to technology and social media.

We all want to feel engaged and connected with our work peers and to be involved in making contributions to the members of the community in which we work. For some of us that community may be our academic institution and the students and faculty, while for others it may be the community of practitioners and clients with whom we work.

Unlike any book of history you have seen, a new online resource from NCFR will hold important historical facts and links to archived documents, audio recordings, and other digitized content. It will live and grow as stories are added by NCFR members. Paragraph by paragraph, members can add their comments and stories to the document.
