In 1986 five individuals, Judy English, Diane Kurfehs, James Oliver, Michael Pelfrey and Danny Edwards, saw the need to form an organization that would "create and promote understanding, fellowship, and cooperation among social work practitioners". The members of the Alliance are thankful for the insight of these five individuals. We will have an opportunity to show that appreciation as we celebrate the idea that took place 25 years ago during the Alliance Spring Conference April 27th-29th. This Celebration of Knowledge will be held at the Hilton Richmond Hotel & Spa/Short Pump April 27-29, 2011.

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.

You will find committee meeting minutes for all of the Service program committees. Thanks.
