Historical Note

The Wyoming Home Economics Association was a non-profit organization whose purpose was to further education in family and consumer sciences by sponsoring and supporting presentations, seminars, and outreach programs. Specifically, the WHEA attempted to identify and study social, economic, and psychological changes that created lasting impacts in the study of family and consumer sciences. In 1994, the Wyoming Home Economics Association permanently changed its name to the Wyoming Association of Family and Consumer Sciences.
