A September story on recognition of
NASW's credentials misidentified a
group that approves of the association's
case management credentials. The group
is the National Association of Professional
Geriatric Care Managers. It also approves
of credentials offered by groups other
than NASW.
A caption on a
Delegate Assembly photo collage in
October misidentified Barbara Shank's
home state. It is Minnesota.
