Board of Advisors
The School of Social Work is privileged to have a highly distinguished group of advisors that represent multiple sectors in the Hawai`i community. The social work profession can be described as a composite representing multiple interests that are all oriented towards addressing society's needs and improving quality of life. Our board members are drawn from the social work profession, professional organizations, community-based programs, state government, non-government organizations, and the corporate sector. Together they constitute a highly energetic and powerful entity that serves the School by promoting social work education locally and regionally.
