National Association of Social Workers – Maryland Partners With Maryland Nonprofits To Provide Nonprofit Management Professional Development Courses

 

A strategic partnership with Maryland Nonprofits beginning in July 2018 is expanding learning resources for National Association of Social Workers – Maryland (NASW-MD) members. A provider of high-quality nonprofit management courses and consulting for over 25 years, Maryland Nonprofits, a statewide membership association, works to promote a thriving and effective nonprofit sector in Maryland. NASW-MD will partner with Maryland Nonprofits to deliver expertise and professional development to social work administrators so that their organizations can better deliver services to their clients.

“NASW-MD has long provided excellent continuing education for generalist and clinical social workers.  Several years ago, by introducing an annual Macro Conference, we began to cover the breadth of Macro practice,” said Daphne McClellan, E.D. NASW-MD. “This new partnership will allow our chapter to provide more in-depth nonprofit management training to social workers who often find themselves in management positions for which they are not academically prepared.”
