We want to take this opportunity to thank Leslie Lovett for her leadership as NLIC representative for the past three years. Leslie has made significant impact to the organization and has been a key player in all the activities of our branch. THANK YOU Leslie for your tireless efforts. We also want to welcome our new NLIC representative, Lucy Armstrong. We look forward to her tenure. As previously noted, our next branch activity will be in August when we plan to have a ‘State of the Branch’ and social networking meeting. Please look to your emails and our branch website as we confirm meeting details.
Upcoming Events
State of the Branch Meeting
Thursday, August 19, 6:30 - 8:30 p.m.
Mercado Juarez
125 E I 20
Arlington, TX
This will be an opportunity to review our accomplishments of the past year and and discuss plans and opportunities for the future. To effectively do that, WE NEED YOUR INPUT.
This is also a networking and social opportunity to meet new colleagues and re-establish relationships with former colleagues. We have reserved a larger space this year and we encourage you to bring a fellow social worker who may not yet be a member of NASW. We believe our organization has a lot to offer and we want to share that with our friends and fellow social workers. Click here for more information about the event.
Please RSVP to Cathie by Monday, August 2 at cathie.mcdonald@optumhealth.com
Tea/soft drinks, chips and queso provided by the Branch. You may order other refreshments and food on your own.
I look forward to seeing you there and spending some time talking with you about the future of our branch.
