What is CCNLI?
The year is marching along. Elections are done, but we are still looking for CCNLI Award nominations for our chapter. Please get those out, as the December deadline will be here before we know it! These are your favorite people in the community, in several categories. Check the NASW FL website. It is a way to give respect and recognition. This will be celebrated during March, which is social work month celebrating 45 years of the NASW.
New Unit Chair, Feel Free to Email
It takes a village, your volunteer steering committee members are Kian Jacobs, Elizabeth Ferguson, Teresa Wright, Phyllis Lavigna, Barbara Hope, and Itana Pinansky. But we still need volunteers to represent our chapter for the state ethics committee, just in case of a peer review process. This is not a big commitment and only involves a few meetings and short trainings, but it will provide a good opportunity to learn new things and gain experience, while also filling a mandated chapter need! Please contact Kian if you are able to volunteer some small amounts of time. Thank you for your consideration. Kian.
