Welcome to the NASW-NYC Members Only Page!

I am pleased to serve as President for the New York City Chapter of the National Association of Social Workers. As a professor of social work and gerontology at the Fordham University Graduate School of Social Service, I know the critical importance of social work practice to ensure the best possible services and outcomes for our clients of all ages, as well as the importance of continuing to promote our professional identity and value within the health, mental health, education, aging, and social service sectors in NYC and the global community.

As they say, membership has its benefits…and your membership in NASW-NYC is valuable.

The NASW-NYC member page provides you with information that is uniquely available to members.  In the recent past NASW members were kept up-to-date about developments in the social work licensing law, BEFORE it was enacted, as well as after.  Similarly, NASW members were the very first ones to know about our lobbying for the loan forgiveness program, and they were the first to know when applications became available.

The Members Only Page will be the place to find similar updates in the future, as well as resources of value to professional social workers.  We recommend that you check the page on a regular basis.

Your work and your career as a social worker is related to the strength of the profession.  Together, we make the profession stronger and more effective.

Thank you for being a member. 

Sincerely,

Patricia Brownell , PhD                  Robert Schachter, DSW, ACSW
