Dedications at ASWB
Former ASWB CEO DWIGHT HYMANS recently returned to ASWB headquarters for the dedication of a pair of benches given by the ASWB Board of Directors in honor of his contributions to ASWB during his more than 15 years of service. Also present were his wife, KARLA KENEFAKE-HYMANS, and grandson GABE.
A lilac garden was planted on the grounds of ASWB headquarters in memory of PAM HOFFMAN. Pam worked as a member of the candidate services staff for more than 25 years before her death in March. PAM’s sister, SYLVIA CHRISTIAN, a former ASWB employee, and PAM’s mother and stepfather, DIANA and FRED JACKSON, attended the garden dedication.
Congratulations, Mary Jo!
MARY JO MONAHAN, former ASWB CEO, was inducted as an NASW Social Work Pioneer® on October 15. She was elected in 2021 for her lifelong commitment to advocating for regulation of the social work profession. Her brother, JOE MONAHAN, was inducted at this year’s ceremony as a 2020 Pioneer. MARY JO believes the MONAHANS are the first siblings to receive this honor recognizing social workers who have contributed to the evolution and enrichment of the profession. Pioneers are celebrated as role models for future generations of social workers.
