CSWE to Select a New President by June 2012

CSWE has begun the process to hire a new president to replace Executive Director Julia Watkins following her planned retirement in June 2012. Please note that this is a title change (executive director to president; the current title of president will be changed to Board of Directors’ chair) resulting from adoption of the 2010 bylaws. President Mit Joyner has appointed members to a National Search Committee (NSC). Alberto Godenzi, dean of the Boston College Graduate School of Social Work, has agreed to serve as chair.

NSC Chair Godenzi and President Joyner plan to maintain close communication with CSWE members throughout this process. Please direct any search questions or comments to them or a member of the committee (their contact information can be found in the Individual Members Directory). The position specification has more information and we hope you will promote this position to potential candidates.
