The training is delivered in 5 full-day workshops, generally scheduled every two weeks during a two-month period.  The training series is scheduled for March 2nd, 16th, 30th, and April 6th and 20th in Tampa, FL.

Applicants must be MSW's working as supervisors or managers providing supervision to staff members who provide direct social services to older adults.  Both experienced and novice supervisors are encouraged to seek advanced training through the SLA program. Workshops are led by seasoned educators and leaders in gerontological social work, and participants will engage and network with peers in the cohort during sessions, and beyond the sessions with other SLA network members from around the country. SLA graduates will also be part of a network of Supervisory Leaders in Aging around the country.

The fee to participate in the SLA program is $250 for NASW members, and $300 for non-members.  A limited number of scholarship opportunities are available. 

The application deadline has been extended to February 24, 2017, unless available slots are filled in advance of that date.
