Founded in 2017, our committee is made up of social workers from within the El Paso community. Our goal is to provide our local community of helping professionals the opportunity to attend meaningful and relevant workshops/conferences and obtain continuing education units for their professional licensure requirements. Come and learn from experts about these topics and network with other local professionals.
