The need to cultivate emerging new leaders and support strong leadership among exemplary mid-career social workers has never been greater. We are experiencing a dramatic transition of leadership as a result of the retirement of many of human services executives, including social workers. Encouraging and recognizing social workers who are now emerging as the leaders of tomorrow is important to all of us. Through our Annual Social Work Leadership Awards Dinner, NASW-NYC seeks to identify and recognize both emerging and mid-career social workers who have demonstrated outstanding leadership, expertise and dedication to the profession and to the improvement of social and human conditions in New York City.
