Flashback to '76

Margaret Esposito was McLean County Sr. I Extension Adviser, Home Economics and had been in that position since 1970. Her Bachelor's and Master's Degrees were from Illinois State University in 1961 and 1963 respectively.

She had been a teacher for one year and was very active in  many organizations including AHEA, IHEA, IAEA, and the Illinois Council on Family Relations. She had been recognized as career woman of the year in BPW in 1972; Who's Who in American Women 1974-75; and Featured in Women at Work Series in 1974.

Margaret served as state president of IAEHE in 1973 and had held lots of other offices and committee chairmanships in our organization. Many will likely remember her as a strong leader of our Extension Home Economists group.
