Social Welfare Policy and Policy Practice

Chair: Rick Hoefer
Cochair: Pending 

This Track focuses on the role of social work and social work education as agents for change at the macro level. As always, we would like to showcase evidence-based models of policy practice and research-tested program ideas to offer elected and other leaders as we grapple with serious economic, social justice and other problems. Social work educators must be constantly looking for better ways to teach and to interest students in becoming the best change agents possible.
