As a leading membership organization for family professionals, the National Council on Family Relations (NCFR) provides a forum where family researchers, educators, and practitioners can develop and disseminate knowledge about families and family relationships. NCFR sponsors the Certified Family Life Educator (CFLE) designation and publishes three prestigious research journals. Members stay connected through an interactive website, member forums, newsletters, state and university affiliates, and more. The annual conference in early November features the latest in research and best practices. Upcoming sites include Vancouver, British Columbia (2015) and Minneapolis, Minnesota (2016).
