******************************
NASW-SD is excited to broadcast CEU sessions over the DDN network.
CEU sessions are now available to members across the state. DDN sites are located in many of the local high schools and state government offices, so are conveniently located near most NASW-SD members. If you would like to participate in a CEU session via DDN contact Marlene 339-9104. She will help locate the sites near you and coordinate an available site. Participation at any given site is dependent on availability so make plans early to increase the chances that the site nearest you will be available.
See
Calendar of Events for dates and topics of upcoming CEU sessions.
************************************
We now have a Facebook group to help keep you informed about activities that NASW is offering, issues that are important to NASW and to facilitate communication and networking among social workers. I encourage Facebook users to go to look for friends and search "National Association of Social Workers-South Dakota". (Helpful hint: Make sure you click on groups on the left side of the page)
