February 7-10, 2008

Below you will find a conference proceedings comprised of a sampling of materials presented during workshops and poster sessions during its Convention 2008 in Orlando, Florida on February 7-10, 2008.. 

The papers and PowerPoint presentations in this proceedings are are varying length, structure, and styles. Except for some very basic formatting, submissions did not undergo a formal editing process. Our hope is that the following collection of papers and outlines will be of value to current NACSW members and friends by extending the impact and reach of the materials presented at  Convention 2008 especially to those who were not able to attend the convention.  

Rick Chamiec-Case, Ph.D., MSW, MAR
