All of our board members volunteer their time and expertise to our five committees:
Executive, Hall of Distinction (HoD), Archival Collections & Oral Histories (ACOH), Membership, Operation, Governance & Finance (MOGF), Diversity, Outreach and Development (DOD) and Program & Events (PE)
CSWA’s board is made up of social workers with a broad array of experience across all sectors of our profession including education, clinical/mental health, policy, social justice advocacy, research, healthcare child welfare and law.
Additionally, the contributions of social welfare historians, librarians and archivists have been instrumental. We would not be where we are today without them.
Below is our wonderful team and the committee on which they volunteer their expertise.
