International Collaboration Task Force
This past year's focus of the NADD International Task Force was to promote sharing and collaboration among schools of social work with international initiatives.
The second major project of the Task Force was the organization of the second ISW conference in Boston. This event was the result of a joint collaboration between NADD's Task Force, CSWE's Katherine A. Kendall Institute, and the Boston College Graduate School of Social Work. The conference was attended by more than 150 social work scholars and practitioners. It was co-sponsored by a dozen schools of social work. Given the huge success of this inaugural event, a third conference in 2009 is in the planning stage.
