SPACE COAST UNIT
Follow us on Facebook NASW-FL Space Coast Unit for updates!
We hope this newsletter finds everyone safe and sound as we proceed through these times of COVID-19. Social Workers have always been essential, however I have seen many of our peers step up to the challenge and want you to know that you are recognized.
March was National Social Worker Appreciation Month, which we usually celebrate together and acknowledge the award recipients for their dedication to our community and field.
We’d like to recognize the following people:
CONGRATULATIONS to the 2021 NASW-FL Space Coast Unit Award Winners:
Social Worker of the Year: Amber Hartnett Joyce, LCSW
Student Social Worker of the Year : Delaina Zerafa
Public Citizen of the Year: Diana Figueroa, Esq.
Elected Official of the Year: Yvonne Minus, Melbourne City Council District 3
Please don’t hesitate to leave them a comment of appreciation for all that they do!
