About us
NASW is the largest organization of professional social workers with over 150,000 members. The Ohio Chapter has around 4,000 members from all 88 counties. The Ohio Chapter is divided into 8 regions: Region 1 (Toledo Area); Region 2 (Akron Area); Region 3 (Cleveland Area); Region 4 (Youngstown Area); Region 5 (Columbus Area); Region 6 (Cincinnati Area); Region 7 (Dayton Area); and Region 8 (Canton Area). NASW’s primary functions include promoting the professional development of its members, establishing and maintaining professional standards of practice, advancing sound social policies, and providing services that protect its members and enhance their professional status. The Association developed and adopted the NASW Code of Ethics and other generalized and specialized practice standards. Certification and quality assurance are promoted through the Academy of Certified Social Workers (ACSW), the NASW Register of Clinical Social Workers, and the Diplomate in Clinical Social Work (DCSW). Among NASW’s political action programs are Political Action for Candidate Election (PACE) and Educational Legislative Action Network (ELAN). The Association also sponsors, through its 56 chapters in the U.S. and abroad, professional conferences and continuing education programs, and produces journals—such as the flagship Social Work—books, and major reference works for the profession.

When moving through the budget process the Ohio House of Representatives added a provision that would force private colleges to comply with Senate Bill 1. This is done by banning those universities from receiving funds from the “Governor’s Merit Scholarship.” This would not only harm the schools but also students. By cutting off the highest achieving students from the over 50 private universities, the House has shown that they do not truly care about the citizens they are supposed to serve. Public testimony is not yet being held for the budget in the Senate, but you can still call your Senator and let them know you disagree.
