Purpose
The Oklahoma Home and Community Education, Incorporated, a non-profit organization, is organized and shall be operated exclusively for the purpose of continuing adult education in family and consumer sciences for educational purposes and in furtherance thereof, and for such other charitable purposes as are pertinent to the objectives of the group.
Emblem
The emblem is a circle suggesting the continuity of life in our state, our homes, and our community education. The single candle symbolizes the unity of goals and purposes of our organization. The candle emphasizes the saying, “it is better to light just one little candle” and through unity light the world. The edge of the seal has 77 bites of light between the cogs representing all the counties of Oklahoma. This all forms a work wheel that our members have put their shoulders against and thus turns our world into a better society. Standing behind the candle is our great state of Oklahoma.
Creed

We shall endeavor to discover the potential in our children and our neighbor’s children and to help them develop their personalities in such a manner that they make a worthwhile contribution to life.
