IS
THERE A REASON TO JOIN NASW?
-
We lobby for you in Washington,
Albany and City Hall to strengthen the profession and advocate for sound
social policies.
-
We are promoting the enactment
of a social work licensing law in New York State.
-
We are enhancing the profession's
image through our media project on excellence in practice.
-
We offer high quality continuing
education.
-
We publish the major social
work journals and provide news for the profession through our national
and local newsletters and websites.
-
We offer the best malpractice
insurance.
-
We announce job openings, offer
career development workshops, and support the hiring of our members.
-
All of these are reasons to
join NASW, but there is an even more important reason to join.
At its core, NASW is
the unification of the profession. In unity
there is strength. In unity there is support for every one of us
to maintain our values in practice. And in unity there is support
for every one of us maintaining our professional identity in a non-professional
environment.
The time has come for
all social workers to join NASW. Membership
is the bond that builds our collective strength. Without NASW, without
us together, there will be no profession.
Students receive large
discounts on membership dues during their time in school and through
the first two years following graduation.
