The 2021 APM will be held November 4–7 at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort in Orlando and CSWE is actively exploring ways to improve the programming and events at the APM. You can help us capitalize on an opportunity to live our social work values while in Orlando by sharing your feedback and suggestions as comments to this post.

Recently, laws have been proposed and enacted in several states that are counter to our professional values and ability to speak the truth about our country's history and systemic racism. Florida lawmakers passed a law in June 2021 that prevents transgender women and girl athletes from playing on public school teams designated for biological females. In response to this law, as well as similarly discriminatory bills and laws, California lawmakers chose to add these states to its list of places where state-funded travel is banned except under specific circumstances.

Although we recognize the importance of such a decision, we also recognize that it creates obstacles for educators at public California colleges to attend the APM this year. Unfortunately, CSWE is unable to host the 2021 APM elsewhere. The organization cannot absorb the financial penalties that would be incurred by breaking our contracts and agreements. We ask for your understanding on this matter and for your active engagement as social workers to help us meet this challenge.

We have begun to engage with programs in California and Florida to help us think through how we might enhance the reach of our APM. We are also looking at ways to engage state and congressional lawmakers in these critical conversations during the APM.

We thank you for your continued support, grace, and patience as we work together to make the 2021 Annual Program Meeting the most impactful conference we have ever hosted and look forward to any comments or suggestions here to improve our meeting.
