The Alliance is interested in maintaining a roster of retired local agency social workers who would be interested in working part time in local agencies after retirement. We have some directors who are very interested in hiring retired workers to help when there are vacancies. If you are getting ready for retirement and would like to be on this roster, please email your contact information including the program areas you have worked in to amitchell@kingwilliamcounty.us. If you know of retirees who might be interested, please have them email their contact information as well. Thank you.
