Why celebrate case managers for just one week?
This October, CMSA is turning National Case Management Week into a month-long celebration of YOU and the profession you make possible.
We're kicking things off October 3 with the CMSA Virtual Leadership Conference, followed by four weeks of opportunities to learn, connect, advocate, celebrate, and grow:
RECONNECT with the people and purpose behind the profession.
RECOGNIZE the impact case managers make every day.
REIGNITE your voice, your connections, and your passion for the work.
RISE together as we look toward what's next for case management.
Throughout October, look for live educational events and CEs, advocacy, networking, new resources, special activities, thought-provoking conversations, and plenty of opportunities to celebrate case managers.
And yes, National Case Management Week, October 11–17, will still be right at the heart of it all.
This October, we're not just celebrating a week. We're celebrating case management.
History of National Case Management Week
Plans for National Case Management Week first began in 1998 as an effort to help move the Case Management industry forward. This was the first major initiative of the association since its merger with ICMA in 1995. The CMSA Board of Directors agreed to a Case Management Week celebration during the week of October 10, 1999, a date chosen in honor of the Association’s establishment on October 10, 1990.
Later, it was decided to mark the second full week in October each year as National Case Management Week. As the idea quickly spread, other organizations also began to establish their own Case Management Week celebrations.
To strengthen the movement, collaborate with other organizations, and avoid confusion about the celebration, CMSA approached those organizations about unifying the annual event and celebrating it during the same week.
