When was the first FHA national convention held?

The first national convention of the Future Homemakers of America (FHA) was held in July 1948. This event marked a significant moment in the organization's history, as it was the starting point for what would become a long-standing tradition of gathering members to share ideas, leadership skills, and the values of family and community engagement. This convention established a formal platform for members to discuss and promote their goals surrounding homemaking and family life, setting the stage for the organization's future growth and development. Understanding the significance of this event helps underscore the impact that the FHA, now known as FCCLA (Family, Career and Community Leaders of America), has had on youth leadership and development in the United States.
