Overview

 

What is a Track? 

CSWE tracks were developed by the Council on Conferences and Faculty Development (CCFD) in 2007 to organize educational conference sessions. The tracks are topical, organizing categories that are meant to condense the broad menu of issues related to social work education. The track system is an organizing tool that allows conference planners, presenters, and attendees to focus content on specific areas. Tracks are presently recognized as functional components of the conference monitored by the Council on Conferences and Faculty Development. CSWE currently recognizes 41 tracks. 
 

Who are the Track Chairs? 

Track Chairs are volunteer leaders who play a vital role in promoting high-quality educational programming at CSWE’s conference and networking opportunities.
