From tweets to handshakes,

screens to conference halls — 

always pushing the profession forward, 

toward technology used ethically and well, 

where digital and human were never opposites, 

but open to possibilities, creativity, and connection.

As social workers, we smile and laugh

at a profession slow to perceive

what we already knew and dared to achieve.

You literally wrote the book on it.

And we are still reading,

still learning,

still trying to believe.

Thank you for showing us the way.

 \- Jimmy Young
