Suggestion Box

We have also launched a "suggestion box" for our community to provide information on things we can do or how we can improve. It is located on the bottom of the email address and will also be pinned on our Panhandle SW FB page; I can't do anything on the FB page you all have created except for post or schedule a post, so it will not be there unless you all add it. Here is the information shared:

We are excited to announce the launch of our new "Suggestion Box" form, created exclusively for the NASW TX Panhandle Branch. Your valuable input and innovative ideas are the driving force behind our community's growth and success. We encourage each and every one of you to participate and share your suggestions for events, fundraisers, collaborations, CEU sessions, or any improvements you'd like to see.
