Corrections

A story in the July issue incorrectly identified Federal Labor Relations Authority Chairperson Carol Waller Pope as a graduate of the Simmons College School of Social Work. She earned a bachelor of arts degree from Simmons, where she studied psychology and education.

Also in that issue, a list reporting results of NASW’s national elections inadvertently included W. Mark Clark as a candidate for secretary. Clark did not run for secretary in this election, but ran for and won the Region XI delegate position, as reported. A corrected list of elections results appears at 2010 NASW Vote.

In a July article about the International Federation of Social Workers general meeting, the name of Suzanne Dworak-Peck was spelled incorrectly, and a caption on page 11 contained the wrong first name for Bernice Harper.
