I'm terrible at goodbyes ...
... so there's a pang in my heart to share that this is my last month as NASW's digital and print editor.
Over the past three years, I've been fortunate to help communicate the tremendous efforts of our members as they've reported on the pandemic, and of our leaders and volunteers as they've rallied to unite the community. THANK YOU to each and every one of you for being here and making NASW the supportive, informative, and indispensable group it is. The positive interactions I've experienced through my work with NASW have been a beacon of light for me personally during this challenging time.
Look for updates on the editor role from NASW in the new year, and know that I'll be sticking around—as a member and, once I'm settled into my new position at UC Riverside, as a volunteer. Please keep in touch! I'm on Twitter @snightingale and at sarahjanenightingale@gmail.com.
Wishing you a joyful and peaceful holiday season,
—Sarah
