The General Assembly is in session and there are several bills that are of interest to us. Legislative updates are being sent to all members as they arrive.

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.

Spring conference will be a joint conference with The League, BPRO and POSSESS and will be May 5-7 in Roanoke. Stay tuned for more information! We will have scholarship monies available for members to attend the spring conference. Please keep watch for updates.
