Hey hey all you hip LDSS students!
As I mentioned in my e-mail, before we meet again in January, we want to have a pretty good idea of what topics we want to cover in our monthly meetings so here is a list of topic areas. If you could pick 3 or 4 topic areas that you are most interested in, and post your interests as a comment on the blog, that would be just great! That way, we can read everyone's comments and have a good idea of where our collective interests lie come January. Sound good?
Topics
-Social Work Research/Publishing
-Fundraising and Development
-Finance and Accounting
-Pathways to becoming an Executive Director
-the LDSS job climate
-Advocacy/Policy Work
-Community Organizing
-Program Planning and Development
-Program Management and Evaluation
-PhD Programs
Again, please list in the comment sections your top 3 or 4 choices for topics. Also, please indicate if you know of anyone who might want to speak about the topic matter. If you can think of the perfect person to address a certain topic, feel free to contact them in the interim to see if they would even be able to speak sometime in the Spring. Laura and I figure it makes the most sense to figure out what we want speakers to address before settling on a list of speakers.
Thanks everyone....now Comment Away!
And of course, Happy Holidays!

I'll go ahead and weigh in first.
I guess I'm most interested in LDSS Job Climate, Roads to becoming an ED, and PhD Programs.
BUT
I'm flexible and, frankly, they all sound interesting.
I am most interested in:
-Pathways to becoming an Executive Director
-the LDSS job climate
-Advocacy/Policy Work
Candace's Preferences:
I'm interested in the following topics: becoming an ED, program planning and development, and community organizing. I am also interested in Networking/Job Hunting and Starting a Non-Profit
Happy New Year!
I'm interested in LDSS job climate (networking?), ED pathways, and then it's a tie between advocacy / policy and community organizing.
See you in a few weeks!

Hey all!
My top three are...
Advocacy/Policy Work
Community Organizing
and the LDSS job climate.
see you on the 20th!
I am the student rep for NASW and our meetings are open to non-members and it is a great way to network. We normally have speakers from agencies we are interested in and they are often hiring. So its an easy way of meeting someone from an agency. Our next meeting is Jan 22, 6 pm at the NASW office (404 S. Wells)
