NASW-VI Social Work Awards—Now Accepting Nominations!

Each year, the National Association of Social Workers, Virgin Islands Chapter recognizes outstanding nominees in each of three categories:

The Social Worker of the Year Award honors a member of the National Association of Social Workers, Virgin Islands Chapter (NASW-VI) who exemplifies the best of the profession’s values and achievements through specific accomplishments. In honoring the Social Worker of the Year, NASW-VI highlights outstanding accomplishments in the practice of social work.

The Public Citizen of the Year Award honors an outstanding member of the community whose accomplishments exemplify the values and mission of professional social work. The award recipient is not a social worker.

The Elected Official of the Year Award recognizes outstanding service and contributions of an elected official who has shown leadership in the formulation of public policy, particularly policies that affect social justice, health care, education, civil and human rights, and social practice.

The deadline for submitting a complete nomination package is January 15, 2012. The instructions for nomination and submission can be found in this linked document.
