TAMPA BAY UNIT
Greetings, Tampa Bay Unit Social Workers.
Our Unit’s program year pretty much runs September through our annual Florida Chapter Conference in June. We seem to “take a break” in July and August, then pick right back up again in September.
Our schedule for this year therefore, included hosting a “School Board Candidates Forum” in September where 80% of the individuals running for office attended and presented their positions on key issues impacting students in Hillsborough and Pinellas Counties. More recently, the Unit Legislative Co-chair, Elizabeth Mead, worked with the Florida Chapter Legislative Chair Professor Christina Cazanave to inform state legislators in the Pinellas and Hillsborough counties about Social Work Month.
The Tampa Bay Unit congratulates the 2023 USF Social Work Graduates. Click here to read about the future social workers.
