NASW GEORGIA CHAPTER NEWSLETTERS
A connection to an electronic version of The Social Work Network, the NASW-GA quarterly newsletter, is sent to all student members unless they requested receiving paper newsletters by calling 770-234-0567 metro Atlanta; 1-877-234-0567 outside of metro Atlanta; or emailing naswga@mindspring.com.
RECOGNIZING AND REMEMBERING MENTORS
An important recognition program, conceived by President Jan Yates, debuted at the NASW-GA 21st Annual Conference. The purpose of the program is to recognize and remember those social workers who have influenced our professional development during our careers. Honor your mentor by purchasing a star with his/her name on it for only $5. The stars will be added to a perpetual display to be exhibited at each annual meeting, and the names will be listed in the newsletter and appear on our web site for at least one month. For $15, your mentor's name will also be engraved on a brass plate and placed on a plaque in the NASW-GA Education Center. Contact the Chapter Office for more information.
