The Manitoba Association of Home Economists (MAHE) is a professional organization that represents Home Economists and Human Ecologists throughout Manitoba. We continue to call ourselves the Manitoba Association of Home Economists because this name ties directly to the Professional Home Economists Act. This Act gives members the right to use the Professional Home Economist (PHEc) designation, for both Home Economists and Human Ecologists. Those who hold a valid degree in Home Economics or Human Ecology, are eligible for Interim Professional Home Economist (IPHE) status. The IPHE Program is 1 year in length, designed to further professionalism, and provides an introduction to MAHE. Once completed, the IPHE member is eligible for Professional Home Economist (PHEc) status. MAHE provides the opportunity for members to network with others in the profession. This can lead to information sharing, professional contacts, job contracts, and friendships.
