President’s Appeal for Membership

Dear Esteemed School Social Worker Colleagues: 

As we move quickly toward the end of this school year, I would like to cordially invite you to join the School Social Workers Association of Missouri.    We have a lot of exciting things ahead including but not limited to having the 2010 School Social Work Association of America National Conference right here in Missouri. 

Member benefits include:

  • New SSWAM Website with Member Only Section Resources
  • Updated  SSWAM Newsletter
  • SSW Week Member Appreciation Packet
  • Membership Directory (must join by December 1 to be included)
  • Free or reduced  fees for SSWAM CEU staff development
  • Representation and advocacy at State, Regional and National levels regarding issues impacting SSWs. 
  • Emails from the state, regional and national levels regarding grants and issues relevant to SSWs.   

Locally, we still need SSWs to help us in our efforts to promote and develop SSW in Missouri.  If  you can volunteer some time to assist us on one of the committees or on the Board, please let us know.   If you are unable to assist personally, it is our sincere hope that you will financially support our efforts in serving you and in advocating for you at the state and national levels through your membership.   

Our Executive Board and leadership team continue to work hard on your behalf and look forward to serving you in the 2009-2010 program year. 

PLEASE JOIN TODAY!!!   

Sincerely,

Vanessa Ragsdale, MSW, LCSW

President
