The on-going communication mechanisms among Title IV-E partnerships occur through the IV-E listserv, mentioned above; via the annual meeting hosted by the Child Welfare Symposium at the CSWE Annual Program Meeting (APM); through the National Title IV-E Roundtable that grew out of a regional roundtable begun in Texas in 1997 (Chavkin & Sallee, 2012), and through state level exchanges that occur through collaborations such as the long-standing California Social Work Education Center (CalSWEC) coordinated through the University of California, Berkeley. …”
