Welcome to the Proceedings of NACSW’s 58th Annual Convention and Training Conference
Orlando, Florida • February 7-10, 2008
Below you will find a conference proceedings comprised of a sampling of materials presented during workshops and poster sessions during its Convention 2008 in Orlando, Florida on February 7-10, 2008.
The papers and PowerPoint presentations in these proceedings are varying length, structure, and styles. Except for some very basic formatting, submissions did not undergo a formal editing process. Our hope is that the following collection of papers and outlines will be of value to current NACSW members and friends by extending the impact and reach of the materials presented at Convention 2008 especially to those who were not able to attend the convention.
Papers in this proceeding are arranged according to the six convention tracks used to organize the program at Convention 2008. To access any paper, simply click on the title of the presentation you are interested in viewing:
