I have been presenting at conferences since 2001. Until 2018, I regularly submitted proposals to present at the Annual Program Meeting of the Council on Social Work Education, the Annual Conference of the Association of Baccalaureate Program Directors, and the National Institute for Social Work and Human Services in Rural Areas. In 2018 I turned my focus to writing instead of presenting. A complete list of my conference presentations is include in my Curriculum Vitae on the Home page.
