The event was sponsored by Fordham University Graduate School of Social Service, with additional support from the International Association of Schools of Social Work and the Office for Military Family and Veterans-University of Alabama.
This three-day roundtable gathering, held at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, brought together invited subject matter experts in military social work from 17 countries to share their knowledge about the role of social workers within their country's military, and to create a strategic plan to further the development and dissemination of international military social work practice, policy, education and research.
