Board Member Elections

Voting is critical to our nation and our organization.  Each year, our membership votes on a group of individuals to serve as the programmatic volunteer leadership of the state chapter.  This group of elected representatives is charged with working in collaboration with the chapter staff and in unison with the national board to meet the mission of our association.  Our elected representatives bring their experience, passion and ideas to the table to help grow our chapter, make us stronger and build our community. 

Voting is open to members only.  While the election information is public, you will be asked for your NASW membership number to vote, and you can only vote once. Voting opens on June 1, 2024 and the voting deadline is June 23, 2024.  The election results will be published to membership on or before June 30, 2024.
