State woman wins national Homemaker post
Betty Hilbert of Sturgeon Bay was named president elect of the National Extension Homemakers Council at the annual Wisconsin meeting, becoming the state's first such leader in the 50 year history of the group. Mae Flaig of Sparta won the Central Region representative post, while Henrietta Sannes had held the role for a decade. Dorothy Lavicka earned a 50 year member award, and Wisconsin members highlighted leadership development programs and concerns about reduced Extension staff. The organization plans a volunteer leadership project funded by the Kellogg Foundation to train community leaders and bolster visibility nationwide.
