August Highlights 

NASW-Michigan Chapter technical difficulties have been resolved,
and office email has been restored.

NASW-Michigan is Going Green!

Starting August 1st, NASW-Michigan will be going green with a new newsletter format. Based on member input, we have decided to switch our Connections newsletter to an e-newsletter format, which will be available for download and print on the NASW-Michigan website. If you choose to receive the newsletter via your email, you will be receiving a newsletter each month! For those who wish to have a printed copy mailed to them, four issues of Connections (approximately one per quarter) will be mailed to you, on request only. Special publications on critical and important topics will still be printed and mailed to every member.
