IAHCE State First Vice President asks for input (lessons that members in counties want and "hot"” topics from Nutrition & Wellness, Family Life, Consumer & Family Economics, and Horticulture teams) on future lesson topics.

IAHCE selects the topics for next year’s new lessons at the First Vice President’s Workshop during the State Annual Meeting in March. The IAHCE Extension liaison, a County Extension Director from the statewide committee, and a representative of each Extension team should attend this session so that the two organizations can have better communication. Two topics that relate to each team (N&W, FL, CFE, & Hort.) will be selected—a total of eight.

• August & September, current year (by September 15): County HCE First Vice Presidents and unit staff (County Extension Director or his/her designee) work together to submit the lesson requests for their units from the list provided.
