At each year’s conference, we aim to embody NASW’s mission of enhancing the professional growth and development of our members. The social work profession is constantly evolving, and with every passing year, new issues arise that need to be addressed. In order to ensure that social workers are prepared to take on new challenges, our conference provides continuing education opportunities at the cutting edge of the field. This year we have selected the theme, “Connecting Minds, Empowering Lives: Advancing the Practice of Social Work.”

March 1-2
The theme is Macro for Everyone!

Ethical behavior is conduct that is beyond reproach and is in accordance to the laid down standards of a society, institution or organization. The standards of conduct may not always be written and adopted formally by the institution or organization. They also change as organizations and institutions evolve, underscoring the need for regular education about acceptable conduct in the profession and the organization.

In honor of Black History Month, we are offering a free healing space for social workers who identify as African Diaspora/communities, of African descent or Black/African American only. Marcia T. Leftwich will guide us through an hour and a half of nourishing meditation and yoga practice on February 17 and February 24.
