¶ 1 Leave a comment on paragraph 1 0 The 1953 Annual Conference in 1953 was held August 31–September 2 at the Kellogg Center in Lansing, MI. The main theme was “New Strength for the Family Today.”
¶ 2 Leave a comment on paragraph 2 0 In 1953, a conference evaluation committee recommended a more structured approach to program planning. They recommended that the NCFR President-Elect become the chairperson for the program planning. The program committee should consist of the local site chairperson, section chair, and additional persons appointed by the program chair. This reconstruction underscored the vital role that the sections would play in conference preparation. The preplanning emphasis assisted the council leaders in guiding the course of the conferences, thereby increasing their future effectiveness.
¶ 3 Leave a comment on paragraph 3 0 The Board continued to support joint conferences with other organizations. In 1952, they voted to rotate meetings with the American Psychological Association, the American Home Economics Association, and the American Sociological Association. The dates, locations, and themes for the conferences through 1953 were jointly planned by these organizations.
