Renee is a social worker, and the Director of Continuing Education and Professional Development at Adelphi University School of Social Work, an adjunct faculty member in the OMSW program at AUSSW and a doctoral student. Rawcliffe spent close to 20 years in direct practice working with vulnerable individuals and communities impacted by disasters, and provided leadership and content expert training to human service organizations responding to these events.

New York State Office of the Professions (NYSED) regulations require that participants must be present for the entire approved educational activity in order to receive a certificate for continuing education hours. There is no accommodation in the State regulations for late arrival, late return from lunch or breaks, or early departure. According to NYSED, in order to award social work CEs; “When you offer a multi-day or multi-part course/educational activity, the learner must complete all parts in order to earn the certificate for contact hours, in the same way that a student must complete a semester-long course to receive college credit. You may not award partial credit for a program, even a one-day program, if the learner does not complete all requirements at that time.”

Cancellation Policy

Unfortunately, we cannot provide refunds for cancellations made seven working days or fewer before the event for any reason—or for no-shows. We can provide credit towards a future workshop up to 24 hours before the event. After that, no credit will be issued.
