2 Leave a comment on paragraph 2 0 The 1962 Annual Conference was held at the University of Connecticut, Storrs, August 22–24. Wallace Fulton was program chair and chose the theme “Eye on the Family: New Perspectives on American Families and New Directions for Family Life Workers.”  The three plenary speakers all canceled the week before the conference and had to be quickly replaced.

However, most of the attendees chose to stay in university dormitories, which were extremely uncomfortable and hot. Thus, the move to holding conferences at hotels was reinstated.

Genne as chair. Local arrangements co-chairs were Eleanor Luckey and Fay Moeller.
