Mission Statement

Mission Statement:
The Association for the Advancement of Social Work with Groups, Inc. (AASWG), An International Professional Organization, is a not-for-profit organization of group workers, group work educators, and friends of group work who support its program of advocacy and action for professional practice, education, research, training and writing about social work with groups. Within this group work context, we believe in the value and importance of diversity to enrich and strengthen our work and its relevance in the broad social environment. We affirm that we aspire to provide equitable opportunities for participation for all members, and that all aspects of the organization will be characterized by respect for, inclusion, and representation of people across all aspects of social identity. Committed to social justice, AASWG gives particular attention to people systemically disadvantaged by the power differential inherent in oppressive social structures. (Adopted June 2004) As group workers we believe that our common ground unites us and our differences enrich us. The opportunities for collaborative learning on line, at local chapter events, and at our annual international symposia make this Association an invaluable resource to the global group work community.

Making a Professional Presentation: Tips and Strategies for Social Workers

The Illinois Chapter of the
Association for the Advancement of Social Work
with Groups, Inc. (AASWG)
cordially invites you to attend an evening presentation

 
By

Marie Goulet-Raffety, LSW

School Social Worker & Behavior Interventionist


As social workers, we appreciate the need for professional development via attending lectures, conferences and being
life-long learners. But what happens when we are given the opportunity to be the presenter?  The idea of presenting to a group of people as the “expert” on a topic for an extended period of time can feel overwhelming.  This lecture will provide tips and tools to feel successful as a presenter in any setting. 

Date:      Wednesday, April 4, 2012
Time:      5:30 PM – 7 PM
Place:      Loyola University Chicago, Water Tower Campus
              Lewis Towers, Beane Hall, 13th Floor
              820 N. Michigan Avenue


Please join group work practitioners, students, and educators in this networking opportunity.  For more information, please go to http://www.aswg.org/, Illinois Chapter
