NASW-CA values the diversity of opinion and critical dialogue and invites stakeholders to share with us their perspectives about social issues. While NASW-CA works diligently to represent the voices of its 9,000 members and beyond, it is impossible to capture the breadth of experiences and reflections of thousands of social workers across California. This section is meant to ensure a place to highlight and honor the voices of our members.
