BIG BEND UNIT


(Updated 4/16/19)

The Big Bend Unit continues to host a monthly Networking Breakfast on the 4th Tuesday of each month from 8:30 a.m. - 9:30 a.m. You are invited to come and learn more about community resources and local agencies as well as network with your social work colleagues.  Social Work students and professional social workers are encouraged to attend our networking breakfasts, even if you are not a member of NASW. 


The meeting is held at Human Services Building at 1000 W. Tharpe St., Tallahassee, FL 32303  This is a wonderful opportunity for social workers, social work educators, and social work students to get to know one another.  

If you would like an opportunity to provide a 15 minute presentation on your agency or program at an upcoming Networking Breakfast or be added to our chapter mailing list for information on future events, please email Rebecca Carter with your email/contact information and she will add you to the list: rebecca.carter@med.fsu.edu.
