2024 NASW Louisiana Annual Conference "Advancing Health Equity Through Social Work" March 6-8, 2024 Crowne Plaza Executive Center Baton Rouge, LA

We want to thank everyone who attended the 2024 NASW-LA conference, and extend our deepest appreciation for making it such a positive, informative, and transformative experience.  It takes a lot of work behind the scenes to put on an event of this size, and that’s a huge testament to the Conference Chair, Conference Committee, NASW-LA Board, Volunteers and our support system at the Crowne Plaza Hotel.  But most of all, it’s due to the tireless work of Missy Hall-James, who’s been working non-stop since conference to finalize all of the details and administrative tasks.  One of those is getting the CEU and evaluation system set up, and that will be emailed to all attendees as soon as it’s ready.  We’re hoping that will be this Friday, March 15th, but it may be early next week.  We ask for your understanding and patience and rest assured as soon as it’s ready you will receive it.  Lastly, please do not forget to fill out the conference evaluation, as we both presenters and out chapter require that feedback to help make future conferences even better.  Thanks again, and see you next year at conference!
