Greetings SSW colleagues!
We are all busy, but if you have a wish-or even a niggling feeling-that you'd like to/should get involved with WASSW, here are a couple ideas: -Join the committee planning the conference (contact Michelle at michelle.sorenson@wassw.org) -Sign up to check on a handful of districts to see if there are SSW or dual posted SSW/counselor positions open that we can promote (contact Kristina at kristina.miller@wassw.org) -Help with WASSW finances; there are lots of small pieces to do (contact Shannon at shannon.harris@wassw.org) -Help with the website or social media posts; finding resources to share, taking on twitter posts, helping us reach younger members...whatever strikes you! (Contact Kristina at kristina.miller@wassw.org) -Join the legislative/policy team; there is always advocacy to do, as you can see in some recent posts on this page. (contact Elise elise.petosa@wassw.org) Or offer anything that your feel is useful! We are open to your ideas! Happy Spring! Your WASSW Leadership Team For those it applies to, here is a NASW training to become a more aware white practitioner and person.
