“It's a terrific chance to meet people in the field/broaden your social work community, learn about many clinical topics, obtain CEU's, and protect our profession by supporting our clinical society lobbyists. Without these lobbyists, bills could have been passed that would forbid us to make assessments/diagnosis which would, in effect, reduce the need for clinical work.”
