Welcome to the Proceedings of NACSW’s 59th Annual Convention and Training Conference
Indianapolis, IN • October 29 – November 1, 2009
Below you will find a conference proceedings comprised of a sampling of materials presented during workshops and poster sessions during its Convention 2009 in Indianapolis, IN on October 29-Nov 1, 2009.
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 2009 especially to those who were not able to attend the convention.
