I had the opportunity to serve on the Virginia Board of Social Work (VBSW) for 10 years.   I am available for consultation on matters related to clinical social work licensing and regulation.  Many times over the years social workers have contacted me to help them get through the "system" of licensure.  I have been able to provide some guidance and explanation that helps reduce stress and get through difficult events.  Below is a listing of the Boards, Commissions and Committees I have served on over the years:

So, I sent a Virginia Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the Board asking for a copy of the entire list of Board-Approved Supervisors.  The list is stored electronically so I asked for an electronic copy.  They sent it to  me.  The VBSW is a public body.  That is important because the Virginia FOIA states:  By enacting this chapter, the General Assembly  ensures the people of the Commonwealth ready access to public records in the custody of a public body  or its officers and employees, and free entry to meetings of public bodies wherein the business of the people is being conducted. The affairs of government are not intended to be conducted in an atmosphere of secrecy since at all times the public is to be the beneficiary of any action taken at any level of government. Unless a public body ...
