I hope that you will re-join AGESW, continue to attend activities such as the receptions at the GSA and CSWE conferences, and continue to enjoy the benefits of membership such as your subscription to the Journal of Gerontological Social Work, members-only aging-related e-newsletter and website materials, and our soon-to-be-unveiled publication database!

Hi all!

Welcome to the newly redesigned AGESW website! We are still in the process of making some changes so please let us know if you experience any problems.

The new layout is designed to make it easier for current and potential members to access the latest news and updates. For current members, we are in the process of enhancing the “Members Only” section of the site such that each member will have his or her own password, and will have access to the “Members Only Directory”, as well as to other features that we will be adding in the months ahead. The AGESW Board hopes that you will enjoy the new website and that you will find it informative!

I want to personally thank you for your continued support of AGESW and its mission to foster the growth of social work educators, students, and researchers interested in gerontology!

Warmly,

Tracy Schroepfer, PhD
AGESW President

We hope you enjoy the new site design and streamlined navigation.

The highlight of the new system is a dynamic online member directory that allows you to interact with your fellow AGESW members. Features include:

• Individualized log-in (use your email address and first name+last initial for login – so George Washington would be georgew)
• Easy renewal – never type your basic information again!
• Secure updates – make your own changes to keep your profile consistently accurate.
• Comprehensive site search
• News feed – get the latest update notifications in your inbox
