NASW-NYS Announces New Program Director

Dear NASW-NYS Members,

On behalf of the Board of Directors and Staff at the National Association of Social Workers – New York State Chapter, I am pleased to announce the appointment of Kimberly Eisen, MSW to the position of Program Director.

As Interim Program Director for the past two months, Kimberly has already been instrumental in re-energizing the Chapter’s continuing education programs and providing the best professional development opportunities to our members. Previously, Kimberly served as the Chapter’s Grants Coordinator, where she oversaw the grant coordination for the nationally-recognized, Veterans Mental Health Training Initiative and the unprecedented, statewide Problem Gambling Training Partnership. Since joining NASW-NYS, Kimberly has proven herself to be a capable and talented professional who is dedicated to offering comprehensive support for the state’s social work practitioners – particularly our NASW-NYS members.  Her experience and commitment made her an obvious fit for the position.

“I’m so excited to be entering this new phase at NASW-NYS. As Program Director, I’m looking forward to working with and for our membership to provide the best professional development services and continuing education opportunities throughout the state. Since graduating with my MSW, I’ve been looking for an opportunity to work for the profession and the countless people that have chosen social work as their career. I know that the amazing team here at NASW-NYS are poised and ready for the next chapter in our organization, and I feel so privileged to be serving our membership through our Program Department,” says Kimberly.
Please join me in congratulating and welcoming Kimberly to her new position.

Ron Bunce, LMSW
