Dear NABSW Students Chapter Secretaries:
I bring you greetings and fraternal felicitations on your
various achievements. Zakia Pugh is my name
and I have the honor and privilege to serve you in the 2011-2012
academic as your secretary for the
Office of Student Affairs. The Office of Student Affairs is the
student mouthpiece of the NationalAssociation of Black Social
Workers Inc. Together with the other five officers, we serve are
your
voice in NABSW. I humbly accept this mantle with great
exuberance. It affords me great opportunity
to serve on a national level!
Let us celebrate our past and embrace the challenges of the
future as members of the Black family.Nearly four years ago,
America (WE) made history by electing the first Black to the
highest position
in this country and since his authority and leadership has been
challenged. We must continue tosupport him; as our President
continues to seek the welfare of all Americans irrespective of
race, class,gender or creed, balance the country budget and
addressed the unprecedented education cuts that
affect all communities, especially OUR communities.
I entreat all students to be more engaged on a national level
because there is a lot you can do as an
individual and as a chapter. Participating on a national
committee with me or any of my fellow
officers is an excellent approach. As your secretary, I chair
the website and newsletter committees. I
am currently looking to recruit members to join both committees.
These are essential to members ofNABSW because this is our means of
communication. Involvement in the committees would entail
working with others to create a quarterly newsletter, as well as
frequently updating the BlogSpot and
Facebook webpage with important information.
I feel that this organization creates a safe environment for
people of African descent to discuss their
own issues and identify ideas in which to use the NABSW code of
ethics to create a better world forBlack people as a whole.
With that in mind, a discussion of all secretaries should be
produced so creative ideas can be shared. I
hope to speak with all the chapter secretaries quarterly on
November 5, 2011, January 7, 2012,
March 31, 2011, and June 9, 2011. Each call will begin at 5PM
EST. All those who are interested
may email me at [email protected] for more information.
If you have questions, ideas,
comments or concerns this a great time to share them. I look
forward to speaking with all of you!
Thanks once again for such a unique opportunity to serve as
Secretary in the Office of Student Affairs.I look forward to seeing
you all at the 44th Annual Conference in Atlanta, Ga. I wish you a
fulfilling
academic year.
At your Service,
Zakia Pugh, MSW/MSLP candidate
