NASW
Social Work Pioneers
The Social Work
Pioneer Program was created to honor members of the social
work profession who have contributed to the evolution and
enrichment of the profession. The Pioneer Program identifies
and recognizes individuals whose unique dedication, commitment
and determination have improved social and human conditions.
Pioneers are role models for future generations of social
workers. Their contributions are reflected in every aspect
of the profession, as well as in the establishment of social
policies and human services programs. They have accomplished
this through practice, teaching, writing, research, program
development, administration, advocacy, legislation, and
election to public office.
The Pioneer Program provides support for Pioneer projects
that combine historical perspective with an interdisciplinary
approach. Other projects bring a historical perspective
to current issues and challenges, and insight to emerging
social problems.

The
National Social Work Public Education Campaign
has created tools for social workers to use to educate
people about the breadth and depth of the profession.
We have created advertising, public relations, and marketing
materials that tell people about the profession. Now,
we have a 5-minute video that will show people that, on
any given day, social workers help in so many ways.
Goals of Video:
- Educate the public about
what social workers do;
- Demonstrate the depth and
breadth of the profession;
- Provide another tool for
social workers to reach out to the public.
Where can I see
On Any Given Day?
... On PBS. NASW has secured sponsorship
placement on public broadcasting stations across the country
through Spotlight On programming.
... On the Internet. On Any Given
Day is on www.SocialWorkers.org
and on www.HelpStartsHere.org,
as well as popular video Web sites such as www.YouTube.com.
On Any Given Day is an excellent tool to educate
people about the breadth and depth of the social work
profession. If you are willing to show the DVD at your
agency or in your community during March, the NASW-FL
Chapter Office will provide you a copy at no cost. Please
contact the Chapter Office to request your copy at 1-800-352-6279
or naswfl@naswfl.org.

Each year, social workers
across the country celebrate the profession during March—National
Professional Social Work Month. We reflect on the history
of the profession, celebrate the important work that is
currently being done, and look toward a future of promise
for the individuals, families, and communities we serve.
Congratulations to the Florida Chapter
