The Office of Professional Development (OPD) works with numerous organizations and state agencies to ensure that the expertise of social workers is incorporated into trainings or conferences. A key component of OPD’s mission is to provide robust opportunities for our members to grow professionally – whether it be from participation in a training as an attendee or an instructor. 

Below are affiliated programs currently looking for keynote or workshop presentation submissions. Look and see if there are any programs that align with your skills and values that would benefit from your expertise.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Some presentation opportunities offer stipends/honoraria while other offer experience and professional exposure.
