Communications 

Hello Members,
As Communications Director, it’s my privilege to oversee AOSW Connections, the News Brief, SWON, and our social media platforms. Our directive is to disseminate content related to the field of oncology social work and AOSW. This wouldn’t be possible without the amazingly talented team I work with on this committee. The current volunteer members are Amy Colver, Katherine Easton, Deborah Carey, Kristina Walker, Lisa McLaughlin, Alicia Wlodynski, Angela McCasland, Elisabeth Wiggins, Kiersten Anderson, and staff members Patricia Sullivan, Tori Reeder, and Kara Chamberlaine. Our Committee has been hard at work collaborating with our Board Members and Directors to create relevant content and new initiatives as a result from the AOSW membership survey. The Communications Committee will also send out an additional short survey to gain further insight into what our members are looking for from us! We appreciate all the members who have contributed content and those who are engaging on our platforms. Thank you!
