NASW Idaho Working Committees

NASW Idaho Chapter members are strongly encouraged to participate in our working committees. Our committees are literally how NASW Idaho serves its mission and reaches its goals. Join like-minded individuals across Idaho working to make positive change today!

What is Expected from Committee Members?

Each committee is comprised of a chair and committee members. Committee members must be NASW members in good standing (position description coming soon!). As committee goals, schedules, and other details we will update this page. If you are interested in being on a committee please fill out this short interest form and we will reach out once we have things ready to go!
