Welcome to the 2007-2008 program year! This year marks 62 years of leadership and career development opportunities provided by the California Association FHA-HERO. A strong association is dependent upon the active involvement and support of the members, officers and advisors.

 Focusing on the theme, “Sail Toward New Horizons”, the 2007-08 State Officer Team has identified the following goals:

• To increase membership through involvement and pride in the Association;
• To provide leadership training, career development activities, and recognition for members at all levels; and
• To increase community involvement and public awareness.

We invite you and your chapter to start planning for your active involvement. With your assistance, this year will be one of growth, achievement, and increased participation in FHA-HERO.
