RECOGNIZING AND REMEMBERING MENTORS
The purpose of the Mentors Program is to recognize and remember those social workers who have influenced our professional development during our careers. There are two ways to recognize and remember your mentor(s). The names will be listed in the newsletter and on our website for at least one month. The cost of a star is $5 per mentor. The second way to recognize and remember your mentor(s) will include all of the above and a brass plate which will be engraved with the mentor’s name and placed on a plaque in the NASW-GA Education Center. The cost of this option is $15 per mentor. Contact the NASW Georgia Chapter Office at naswga@mindspring.com.
