Breaking News: Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers signed the Interstate Licensure Compact earlier today! This is a major victory for Wisconsin social workers and #NASWWI.

What SCOTUS' conversion therapy ruling means for Wisconsin Days after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled decisively that bans on conversion therapy violate the First Amendment, it’s unclear exactly how, or when, the ramifications will be felt in Wisconsin.

#NASWWI Executive Director Marc Herstand was interviewed by Wisconsin Public Radio in an article released on April 2nd regarding the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling that putting bans on conversion therapy violates the First Amendment.

It has been a gift and privilege to serve as your Executive Director for 33 years. This has been the most fulfilling job in my social work career, and I am so grateful I was hired for this position in 1992.

NASW Alert: DOE proposes classifying #SocialWork as "graduate" not "professional." This would mean LOWER student loan limits for social workers than for other professions. Comments due 3/2/26. Personalize & submit here: www.socialworkers.org/Advocacy/Leg...
#SocialWorkIsAProfession #StudentLoans

This now goes to the Governor's desk for his signature!

A victory for Wisconsin social workers and #NASWWI.

After four years of advocacy, our Social Work Licensure Compact has just passed the State Senate, after passing the State Assembly last spring.

#SocialWorkers #SocialWorkIsAProfession #LicensureCompact

Act Now: Provide Comments to the U.S. Department of Education regarding Student Loan Limits and PSLF Eligibility.

Visit the #NASW Action Center before March 2 and tell DOE that #SocialWorkIsAProfession

As a result of advocacy by #NASWWI and its members the Wisconsin State Senate will finally vote on the Social Work Licensure Compact tomorrow. The Governor will sign the bill once it is passed by the State Senate. #SocialWorkers #SocialWorkIsAProfession. #LicensureCompact

#NASW strongly opposes the motion to expel the Israeli Union of Social Workers (IUSW) from the International Federation of Social Workers (IFSW) and is urging all 68 voting member associations to uphold the profession’s core values of unity, dialogue, and compassion.
