Summer 2013 Illinois affiliate update
by Kimi Cross and Elissa Thomann Mitchell, copresidents
May 24, 2013
The Illinois Council on Family Relations held its annual conference on
April 12 at the Hilton Garden Inn in Champaign, Illinois. The theme was
“Family Wellbeing” and we welcomed proposals on any aspect of well
being (e.g., physical, mental, social, emotional, spiritual). We kicked off
the conference with keynote speaker, Dr. Barbara Fiese, Professor of
Human Development and Family Studies and Director of the Family
Resiliency Center at the University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign. Dr.
Fiese’s talk, “Child and Family Health and Wellbeing: From the Family
Table to Public Policy,” was a great start to our day of informative
sessions.
Other breakout sessions focused on the wellbeing of young children, emerging adults and adolescent
issues, healthy families and fathering, and substance abuse issues. A special afternoon session featured
research posters from universities and research centers from around the state as well as booths to spotlight
local organizations and agencies that serve Illinois families. We also had interactive workshops on a variety
of issues including how Alzheimer’s disease affects the family, working with difficult youth, and online family
life education. Our program featured a variety of speakers and perspectives, including researchers,
practitioners, and graduate and undergraduate students.
Awards were given at the conference. Colleen Gibbons won the Outstanding Student Research Award, Lisa
Taylor Moyer won the Faculty Mentor Award, Jill Bowers won the Helen Gum Westlake Distinguished
Member Award, and Axton BetzHamilton won the Outstanding Service Award. We also conducted a
business meeting and our new officers took their positions. The new Executive Board includes Kimi
Crossman and Elissa Thomann Mitchell, CoPresidents; Axton BetzHamilton, PresidentElect and
Conference Chair; Bernadette Collins, Treasurer; Laura Lucas, Secretary; and Linda Dersheid, Membership
Chair.
Program evaluations were very positive and the conference was well attended with approximately 70
people from around the state. Continuing education units were offered for licensed social workers,
therapists, and CFLEs. Please visit our website (il.ncfr.org) for more information, including the full program
and links to presentations from the conference.

Summer 2013 Minnesota affiliate update
by Mary Maher, president
May 24, 2013
Each year at our fall conference, MCFR presents two awards. We were
honored to present Dr. Pauline Boss the MCFR Friend of the Family
award for her work on behalf of families confronting ambiguous loss in
its many forms. We paid special tribute to her dedication to educating
professionals and students in family related fields. Dr. Boss continues
to oversee research and write books on this topic to improve the
profession’s knowledge of and response to loss and grief. Her most
recent publication is Loving Someone Who Has Dementia: How To Find
Hope While Coping with Stress and Grief. She is also a longtime donor
to the MCFR Silent Auction in support of student scholarships. For
more information on Dr. Boss and her work please visit
ambiguousloss.com.
A second award honors the life of Ruth Hathaway Jewson and her
distinguished service to families and family professionals through a long
tenure of leadership in MCFR and NCFR from the 1950s to the 1980s. Last fall the award went to Beth
Yokom who exemplifies a skilled practitioner, scholarly professional and active leader in the field of family
education. Currently, Beth works for the AnokaHennepin School district supervising staff and programs for
Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) and School Readiness Preschool in the Blaine and eastern Coon
Rapids areas of the school district.
Beth taught parents in the Mounds View Early Childhood Family Education and Even Start Family Learning
Program for 14 years. She was a finalist for National Family Literacy teacher of the year. She also cowrote
publications in the field of family literacy for the Minnesota Department Education and served as a
presenter at regional and national conferences.
She helped to develop Minnesota’s Parent Education Core Curriculum Framework: A Comprehensive
Guide to Planning Curriculum for Parent Education Programs. She wrote the curriculum for and presented
at many of the state’s regional workshops on the framework. In addition, Beth was in a small group of
parent educators who studied at the University of Minnesota with Mary Scott and the late Ruth Thomas to
become a Reflective Dialogue Associate which led to additional regional workshops.
Finally we are grateful that Beth provided leadership to MCFR through nearly 10 years of service as
secretary, president and treasurer. She led the development of a new MCFR logo and brochure and
currently serves as an Ethical Thinking and Practice workshop presenter.
Caring for families and developing professional excellence are hallmarks of Beth’s work. We were pleased
to have her accept the Ruth Hathaway Jewson Award.

Summer 2013 Utah affiliate update
May 24, 2013
On April 5, the UTCFR held its annual conference on the Utah Valley
University Campus. The theme of the conference was “Family Studies
in the Community.” Dr Alan Hawkins was the keynote speaker and
addressed 20plus years of courtmandated mediation for divorcing
couples who still had dependent children. He also identified future
trends and research possibilities in divorce.
Another talk was given by Jacci Graham and AnnaLee Hernandez, the
social workers who built the Utah Grandfamilies Kinship Care Center
which the state has adopted and is implementing in every county in the
state.
The remainder of the program was studentfocused with a poster symposium and then a graduate school
fair. There were 27 posters presented by doctoral, master’s, and undergraduate students from Utah and
Idaho universities. Three local charter high school students worked diligently and successfully presented a
poster alongside the others. In all there were 77 student poster presenters. The focus on solving
community problems as Family Studies majors was a success. Ron J. Hammond, Ph.D. Conference Chair
said, “We received many emails and comments of gratitude from faculty and students who found the
conference to be both enlightening and personally moving.” There were 136 faculty and students in
attendance.

Summer 2013 Wisconsin affiliate update
by Amanda Smith, public relations officer
May 24, 2013
The fourth annual WICFR state conference, April 1113, at Great Wolf Lodge in Wisconsin Dells was a
great success. The event started with a community service project on Thursday afternoon involving family
life educators and students from the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point, University of Wisconsin Stout,
and the University of Saint Thomas. About 25 students participated in a food drive for the local food pantry.
The weather was miserable but the experience was still an amazing one. We stood in the cold, wet rain and
kindly greeted people as they entered two local grocery stores and notified them that we were taking either
items or cash donations for the food pantry. The money that was donated was used to buy items in the
store that were most needed by the food pantry. We collected three carts of food and collected $150 used
to buy more items.
Thursday evening about 80 students attended presentations and heard from other students about their
experiences studying abroad in Africa, Nicaragua, and Jamaica. Another presentation covered Chinese
family culture and featured instructor Cuiting Li and her parents.
Friday featured two great keynote speakers. John Munson spoke on success, personal wellbeing and not
giving up on your dreams. The second presentation was by Joe Grzywacz, who shared his research on
health implications of everyday life and work.
Additional sessions covered mentoring, community outreach programs and a stressrelieving activity based
on “meditative drumming. Saturday sessions featured presentations by UWSP and UW Stout participants
on their research studies, child and family occupations, and graduate school.
