with members of the FSWI steering committee, I quickly realized how important Financial Social Work (FSW) was to all aspects of social work practice, not just EAP. Research shows that individual, families and communities, even with very little financial wealth and assets have opportunities to improve their financial stability and future outlook through education, access, and other supportive financial services. The FSWI has been in existence for several years and has continued to grow with regard to scope and support. I have focused more on developing the research infrastructure given my position at the UM SSW and the need for an empirical base to advance the field. Through collaboration on and off campus, the UM SSW is gaining a national reputation for being a leader in FSW. In the near future, goals include embedding FSW in MSW and BSW education, in addition to developing field placements that will offer students a rich learning experience working in settings that help clients and communities build their financial stability and improve economic well-being and justice.

When a student finishes your class, what is it you hope they walk away with and remember? All of my courses focus on non-traditional social work roles and positions (i.e. EAP, workplace policy, and social work response to disaster and mass violence); therefore, one of my primary goals is for graduates to have a better understanding of how their basic social work skills can translate to diverse work environments and populations, especially settings that are not used to hosting social workers. I hope that when my students graduate, they leave with more questions than answers and continue to seek knowledge and education about intervention, policy, and research appropriate to the areas in which they find themselves working. I try to Jodi Jacobson Frey, PhD, LCSW-C, has not only been a faculty member at stay in touch with EAP alumni and engage them in working with current the School for over seven years, she is also a former student and a person students through field placements and mentorship relationships.

The work often cuts directly to the heart of many of the problems that social workers address every day, yet it’s an area of practice that social work has only recently begun to identify and develop. “For many of us, we don’t feel confident with money or numbers,” Clark says. “We go into social work as a soft-science field and relegate “Through field education,” says McKinney, hard financial considerations to other professionals.” “students have been directly involved in But the School of Social Work is helping to change that mindset through its Financial Social Work Initiative (FSWI).

FSWI is also unique in that it not only draws participation from throughout the School of Social Work, it is also open to faculty and students throughout the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB). Attracting more participation from all UMB schools is “one of our short- term goals,” Jacobson-Frey says.

Throughout her career of more than thirty-six years, Ms. Parrish has worked to improve geriatric social work and interdisciplinary care. Since 1996, she has been Director of Resident Life at Charlestown retirement community in Catonsville. In its statement of recognition, the NASW Foundation lauded Ms. Parrish for her “pioneering spirit, vision, and exuberance that have not only been demonstrated in her clinical and administrative responsibilities, but also demonstrated by her television roles around retirement adjustment issues.” The NASW also described Ms. Parrish “as an aging expert who has been an innovative, articulate, and passionate social work clinician and administrator using strength-based and persons- centered approaches, long before these concepts became national long-term care and government benchmarks and standards. Ms. Parrish is both a local and regional leader in all aspects of long- term care and a national media leader in retirement adjustment and health issues, especially for the baby boomer generation.”

page 32 Connections University of Maryland School of Social Work Services. By 1967, LaFrance had transferred to the Baltimore In Remembrance County Department of Social Services, and in 1973, applied to the University of Maryland School of Social Work for admission to the MSW program.

In LaFrance’s application to the School of Social Work, she wrote, “…I enjoy helping people and my experiences in this profession have been rewarding and gratifying. At this time, I feel a need for professional training…(to) become more skilled and more professional…offering services to people.” Throughout LaFrance’s life, she continued to value social work and professionalism, lifelong learning, and the opportunity to serve the community.

LaFrance was committed to the belief that people can work together for a common cause. As a result she participated in any number of community groups. In the 60s, she was president of the Baltimore Chapter of Continental Societies, an organization whose mission was to improve the welfare of social and financial disadvantaged children, and a member of Jack and Jill of America, an African-American women’s organization dedicated to providing social, educational, and cultural opportunities to children. In 1991, LaFrance pledged the graduate chapter of Delta Sigma Theta – a predominantly African-American sorority dedicated to public service - and was an active member until the time of her death. She served on the Baltimore County Commission for Women, the Baltimore County Drug Free School Advisory Board, the Learning Task Group of the Visionary Panel for Better Schools, and the Baltimore County Career Connections Labor Market Team. She was on the board of directors for the Boys Home Society of Baltimore, Inc., the Pro Bono Counseling Project, and the University of Maryland School of Social Worker’s Alumni When LaFrance Kleckley Muldrow, MSW '76 died on July 16 at age Association.

As a result, remained until her retirement in 2000. Despite a busy schedule, LaFrance relocated to New Jersey, where her work at a private as a lifelong learner she earned a Post Master’s Certificate in Episcopalian child welfare agency whetted her appetite for Social Administration and received training from the Child Welfare helping others.

On a more personal note, on first meeting the woman I came to know as Frenchie, I was more than a bit intimidated. Unlike my admittedly anti-authority and (according to my daughter anyhow…) frumpy self, LaFrance was always impeccably dressed, a stickler for policies and rules, and the consummate professional. I soon learned, however, that LaFrance was also wise, warm, gracious, and kind. She quickly put me at ease with her engaging personality, direct way of communicating, and unexpectedly irreverent sense of humor. Knowing that my own child had no grandmother, LaFrance stepped in, traveling with us to a colleague’s home on the Eastern Shore for outings, meeting us at the BMA for children’s activities, coming to birthday parties, and attending every school graduation.

Along with numerous devoted friends and colleagues, LaFrance is survived by her well-beloved son, Ackneil (Trey) Muldrow, III, a partner at Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer, and Feld in New York City, and his wife, Dana, a Senior Manager in Public Relations at Deloitte Consulting. She was “Grand Frenchie” to her two adored granddaughters, Carlyle, age 5, and Rory, 9 months. Her parents, Arthur J. and Ruthie Kleckley, still residents of Orlando, Florida, also survive her.
