ACOSA invites you to nominate candidates for the Career Achievement, Mid-Career, Emerging Scholar, Doctoral Student, Outstanding Practitioner, and Outstanding Student Awards that honor meritorious contributions to macro teaching, scholarship, and practice.

On March 16th, ACOSA hosted Stephen Burghardt, Cheryl Hyde, and Annie Grier, who addressed such topics as the true causes of burnout, the deep-rooted reasons why social workers are unfairly underpaid, and how the fight for equity is expanding across the country.

Last Thursday, ACOSA hosted Stephen Burghardt, Lisa Hawash, and Ric Munoz, who presented an enthralling webinar based around Burghardt's new book, The End of Social Work: A Defense of the Social Worker in Times of Transformation.

In this interactive workshop, we discuss our new ACOSA Community Practice Certificate that provides social work students and alumni an opportunity to earn a national credential in community and macro practice. We will review and discuss the framework and requirements for the certificate within the context of participants’ respective schools.
