CWLA CELEBRATES 100 YEARS
CWLA is celebrating 100 years of leadership in creating and advancing standards of practice, advocacy, and information sharing to enhance the well-being of families, children, and youth. We want everyone to join in our 100th anniversary celebration!
CWLA’s 100th anniversary is prime opportunity to remind key opinion leaders and the general public about the contributions that CWLA, its members and partners have made to the shared goal of improving outcomes for children and families who are vulnerable—and to reenergize commitment and support for CWLA’s work. As we move forward into the challenges of our second century, CWLA needs to continue to have a significant and robust presence. When we all work together—public sector representatives, private sector representatives, professionals, advocates, communities, caregivers, parents, and more—we can advance excellence and ensure that children, youth, and families have all they need to succeed and flourish.
