When did the Future Homemakers of America and New Homemakers of America merge?

The Future Homemakers of America (FHA) merged with the New Homemakers of America (NHA) in July 1965. This merger was significant as it brought together two organizations that aimed to prepare young people for their roles in family and consumer sciences, focusing on areas such as home economics. The unification underlined the importance of these skills in society and broadened the scope and impact of the programs offered to members. Additionally, the newly formed organization began to emphasize leadership and personal development, remaining committed to empowering youth in their personal and professional lives. The merger also facilitated a more unified voice and platform for advocating on behalf of homemakers and consumer issues, which became increasingly important during that era.
