The first Families Alive Conference was offered on the Weber State campus in 1980 and has continued to be offered virtually every year. Through the donation of numerous student and faculty volunteer hours and generous financial gifts from the Blanch Rich foundation and O. C. Tanner, the department has been able to sponsor nationally and locally recognized family experts to present at the conferences. These professionals have included Dr. Carlfred Broderick, Dr. James Lynch, Dr. Steven Glenn, Dr. David Elkind, Dr. Burton White, Dr. Alvin Poussaint, Dr. Bettye Caldwell, Dr. Norris Haynes, Richard Louve, Maya Angelou, and Guadalupe Lara. The Department continues to offer this important conference on an annual orbiannual basis. Through the contributions of various agencies and institutions throughout the intermountain area, the Families Alive Conference has been a rewarding experience to thousands of individuals, and has benefited families in innumerable ways.
