The theme for Day Three is Preparing future social service leaders: Education and training.
Take a look at today’s blog “Leading the Way to the Future: Preparing Future Social Service Leaders,” written by Dr. Nathan L. Linsk, PhD, Professor of Social Work in Family Medicine, Midwest AIDS Training and Education Center, University of Illinois at Chicago.
