Advisory Council


The advisory council for the Director of the Worden School of Social Service consists of eight to twelve community members for a one-year, renewable term. Council members will meet twice per year during the academic year -- once in the fall and once in the spring. Members will share their gifts of service to the Worden mission through non-binding, informed guidance to the director.

The sole purpose of the council is to provide advice for business decisions based on their professional expertise and any working knowledge of social work as it pertains to academia.
