The National Network for Social Work Managers is pleased to announce the creation of the Mark Moses Distinguished Fellowship in Social Work Management. The Fellowship Award will be awarded for this first time at the 2008 Annual Institute, to be held in Los Angeles, from April 10th through the 12th. Nominations are being requested for the following awards:
• One from academia - college level faculty currently teaching a social work management related course (see Leadership and Management Practice Standards) in a program committed to social work management.
• One social work management student.
• Two social work managers practice - current practitioners in a supervisory or management level job, with a BSW or MSW, in a program/agency providing social services

Fellows will receive the following:
1. a travel stipend of up to $500 to attend the Institute in Los Angeles
2. a waiver of the registration fee for the Institute
3. a one year membership to the National Network for Social Work Managers, including a one year subscription to the Journal Administration in Social Work
4. Access to the Members Only section of the website

Fellows will be expected to attend the Institute, including the Awards Luncheon, and write a brief article on a management topic to be determined, in consultation with the Network’s Editorial Committee.
