National Association of Social Workers

As a professional social worker, there are so many benefits to being a part of this national association. There are networking opportunities, career advancement opportunities (CEU events, trainings, workshops, conferences) and the ability to run for leadership positions to represent other social workers and make our professional needs a priority. The staff at the NASW DC Metro Office are helpful, courteous and hardworking. Although they are a a 2 person team, they run that office smoothly and to the best of their ability. They handle anything from membership questions to CEU questions to licensure concerns (although they are not have THE final say in resolving licensure issues as that falls on department of health from your particular state /​jurisdiction).
If you plan to stop by, I would *highly* suggest you call ahead. They are located within the office of the NASW national office who cannot do any business on behalf of the Metro office (aka they can’t take money for CEU registrations). Also, there is a security office on the first floor that does 100% ID check so they will call upstairs (8^th floor) to find out if you have an appointment or if someone is expecting you.
