Administrative History

The Indiana Extension Homemakers Association was a home economics program that urged women to do other activities, like sewing, home management, good nutrition, and so on. "It was founded in 1913 and it 'continues to build on its rich heritage by working to strengthen Indiana homes and families'" (IEHA, 2012).
