NASW-NY CE Taskforce

The NASW-NY Continuing Education (CE) Taskforce began in July 2025 as a way to ensure our members have a direct voice in shaping continuing education. They are social workers and NASW-NY members who are doing the work every day, know what’s relevant, what is missing, and what would truly support their peers’ professional growth.

The Taskforce focuses on:

  • Identifying emerging needs in the field
  • Recommending diverse presenters across levels of practice
  • Contributing to building a more inclusive and relevant CE calendar

Sub-Groups & Leadership

Taskforce members are divided into three sub-groups, each with a chair who helps guide the work:

  • Micro (Clinical & Direct Practice) – Chair: Mildred Pittre
  • Mezzo (Organizations, Families, Communities) – Chair: Sharon Mosley
  • Macro (Policy, Systems, Advocacy, Higher Education, Research) – Chair: Karen E. Edmond

This group is committed through February 2026 and is currently focused on planning NASW-NY’s 2026 CE calendar to ensure it is robust, inclusive, and aligned with the real needs of the field.

Interested in participating in the next CE Taskforce? Applications will open in March 2026 — stay tuned!

Recognizing CE Taskforce Contributions

On our 2026 CE calendar, keep an eye out for the CE Taskforce logo to know which programs were planned by the Taskforce. We will also be updating this page to credit the Taskforce members who recruited presenters, conducted outreach, and helped plan and organize these programs.
