NASW Member Makes High School Graduate Hall of Fame

Cheers to Michigan’s News-Herald newspaper this article onĀ long-time National Association of Social Workers member Nancy Hanson.

Hanson was inducted into the Distinguished Graduate Hall of Fame at Roosevelt High School in Wyandotte, Mich. She was honored for innovations in social work “that resulted in advances in adoption, foster care, education, legal services, councelingĀ  and health care,” the article said.

Hanson and a small group of volunteers in 1993 also founded the Interfaith House Respite Center, a place for ill or injured homeless people in the Chicago area to recover after hospital stays. It was the third facility of this kind in the nation.

Hanson has also been an NASW member since 1977 and held several positions with the NASW Illinois chapter.
