Graphic Recordings from Futuring for Families Think Tank

CSREES National Program Leaders (NPLs) working in family and consumer science (FCS) disciplines place a high value on interdisciplinary FCS programming to address the many and complex problems facing the nation’s families from an ecological or systems perspective. In July 2007, CSREES NPLs in Family Economics, Family Science, and Housing and Indoor Environments hosted a “Futuring for Families” (FFF) Think Tank in Atlanta, Georgia to:

Understand the benefits of addressing family issues from an interdisciplinary perspective;
Gain exposure to integrated Extension programs with potential for national reach;
Frame priorities for national program leadership and state and local application.

The think tank was held as a preconference to the National Extension Family Science Specialists’ Biennial Conference. Hosted by the College of Family and Consumer Sciences at the University of Georgia, specialists and administrators from all FCS disciplines assisted in facilitating the FFF event. Discussions and group consensus were captured in graphic recordings by Visual Logic of Atlanta.
