Continuing Diana Ming Chan’s Legacy…

Diana Ming Chan is someone who helped me to see my true value as a social worker, and how much I could do with my social work degree.  I would tell Diana about my ideas and career aspirations, even my dreams about changing the world; she would tell me about how she was continuously coming up with new ideas and aspirations too, and how she believed that you could never be too old to create change.  Diana encouraged me to always pursue my dreams, and told me that no matter what, I should keep my passion in the forefront of whatever I do.

In her 54 years as a social worker, I'm sure she touched many lives other than mine.  During the short time that I knew her personally, she impacted me so greatly that I can't help but want to continue perpetuating the effects of her work by helping other young social
workers see their value in our community.  

You can help to touch the lives of young social workers by donating to the Diana Ming Chan Scholarship Fund.  Help others realize their value, pursue their dreams, and help them change the world.

Please forward this email and help us to carry on the endless efforts that Diana set forth to pave the future for the Asian/Pacific Islander Community and young Social Workers.

When your contacts send in their donation, they should include a brief note that YOU told them about Diana's scholarship (e.g. write your full name on a post-it). NASW will keep track of the referrals from you so we can send you our thanks and let you know about the lasting impact YOU make. 

Many, many thanks in advance.
