Help us represent your interests. Volunteer for the NASW Annual Meeting Committee, which steers the content of our yearly ScienceWriters conference, which, this year, is scheduled to begin October 16 in Austin, Texas.
The committee reviews session proposals and selects those that represent the best professional development and discussion opportunities for our diverse membership. Chair and NASW Vice President Nancy Shute leads virtual committee discussions on the format and flow of the annual meeting and determines how proposals will be evaluated and shared. Committee members serve for about one month, from mid-March to mid-April. Committee members are expected to be thoughtful, vocal, and may occasionally be invited to help with crafting special sessions. Interested? Email workshops@nasw.org by Friday, February 20, with your name, affiliation, and a couple of sentences on why you want to get involved.
