WHAT YOUR PEERS SAID ABOUT THE CONFERENCES
-
“Always a fun time, interesting and unique keynotes, great ways to connect with other social workers!”
-
“Great conference--I enjoyed every minute. Because I work from home, I am isolated, but the conference is an excellent way to reengage and get updated on what's going on.”
-
“My networking exposure was great. This was important to me since I work in a suburban and minimally diverse area.”
-
“Attending a conference that is for and about social work is a great reminder for all of us about what the field is truly meant for. As social workers we often work independently for a variety of reasons, and being around our peers who are like minded can reinforce the reason we came into the field in the first place.”
-
“I participated in discussions, created art, networked with others, and rekindled friendships--what a great way to reflect on National Social Work Month. I always feel rejuvenated after attending the conference. I came back to work with more resources from the exhibitors and workshop speakers.”
-
“I’m in private practice and don’t work with other social workers, so it means a lot to gather with other social workers at the conference every year.”
-
“I was able to learn, network, and earn CE credits in an effective manner.”
-
“Attendees were friendly and welcoming--it was my first Virginia Chapter event!”
-
“This was an excellent conference. The speakers were great, and topics were relevant to contemporary clinical social work practice.”
-
“This year's NASW Virginia and Metro DC Chapters Annual Conference was an absolutely amazing experience. I attended so many wonderful breakout sessions and brought home a wealth of knowledge."
-
"It was such a great experience, I paid additionally for the ‘on demand’ portion so I could obtain access to the remaining sessions I was unable to attend in-person. It was just that good! I also was able to meet and connect with some amazing people at this conference. I look forward to attending next year!”
