Newly Inducted NASW Social Work Pioneers

We welcome this very impressive group of 10 new Pioneers. From deans to researchers to active practitioners and activists, the members of this esteemed group have received numerous awards, published extensively, and have impressive academic and professional backgrounds.

One of these pioneers is Chia-Chia Chen, founder of the Culture to Culture Foundation in San Francisco!

But what sets these men and women apart is the distinctiveness of their Pioneer qualifications; often groundbreaking and sometimes startling or awe-inspiring. It is how they made—and continue to make their mark— whether setting new standards of practice, helping pass legislation, making academic and professional settings more diverse, or fighting for social workers’ rights.
