Abstract	Participants in a conference held in April, 1978, had four main objectives: (1) to help identify and become more aware of the current concerns in home economics education; (2) to value the role of home economics education in promoting needed social change; (3) to contribute during the conference to the generation of possible solutions and actions to be taken regarding current social problems; and (4) to make plans and feel committed to share the conference with others in their home state or region. To accomplish these objectives, speakers, beggining with keynote speaker Marjorie East, focused on issues such as the profession of home economics and how to build it; the future of education, including the importance of the affective domain, the accountability movement, and the National Institute of Education evaluation of consumer and homemaking education; and needs in secondary home economics education programs in the 1980s. Speakers also discussed recent legislation affecting home economics education. Sociologist Jessie Bernard closed the conference with a self-portrait of a family derived from more than thirty years of family letters. A summary of the conference and list of participants are included in these proceedings. (KC)
