Since its inception in 2002, the mission of the California Social Work Hall of Distinction has been to recognize individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the advancement of the social work profession and/or social work practice in California.
CSU Los Angeles’ Dr. Colleen Friend chairs the committee, which is comprised of social work leaders from universities and social work organizations throughout the state. The California Social Work Hall of Distinction operates as a committee of the California Social Welfare Archives, which—with support from the USC Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work—maintains oral histories of social work leaders, and collections of historically significant documents in the development of social welfare in the state.
