Please join us at this year’s in-person brunch at Maggiano’s in DC! We will consider: “Harmonizing Social Justice with Our Social Work Values: Advocacy to Ensure Clinical Goals  Our lobbyists will be featured: Christine Krone (MD), Guy Rohling (DC), and Mark Smith (VA), as well our committee chairs. In addition, Laura Groshong, CSWA Director of Policy and Practice will join us to give a national view, including telehealth, Medicare, and 7 Cups updates. Help us in our continuing efforts to get the Interstate Compact passed in DC. Examine what’s needed and what’s realistic in regulating artificial intelligence, in considering how venture capital could impact our practices, and how insurance companies determine client eligibility and reimbursement. What can be our Clinical Society’s focus and what are our limitations? We should have the opportunity to break up into jurisdictional units to discuss issues relevant to where you live and practice. Please join us for this important yearly event.

We will enjoy a lovely brunch menu with vegetarian options and the opportunity for good conversation about practice and social issues with valued colleagues.
