The Fine Art of Building Community

When Mary and I set out to create LGBTSocialWork.com, we did so with several purposes in mind:

  1. To create a learning community where the excellence of knowledge and experience was held in the community; not by one or two people but with the belief that the domains of learning would all increase by the very presence of the community.
  2. To empower social workers and other students and professionals in the human service fields with the information to best serve their clients.
  3. To engage in advocacy for changing what social work education looks like in serving LGBTQ people.
Our work continues on the website and we are hopeful to have it launched by the end of January.  We continue to work on our "brand" for what this looks like.  Here is our new logo, created by an amazing artist, Dayanara, who recently joined the Office of Diversity Initiatives as a program assistant.  She also has an amazing portfolio of her work as an artist. 

Look for that soon.
So what do you think??  I think it will make some great shirts and other items.
