Membership

Social workers join NASW to enhance their careers, build connections with peers, and safeguard their professional practice, all while advocating for the profession and addressing key social issues. NASW membership offers exclusive benefits and networking opportunities through both the national office and the Maryland Chapter, all included in a single annual fee.
NASW members exemplify excellence in social work across academia, practice, research, and policy. By joining, members commit to upholding the profession’s Code of Ethics and advancing their skills through continuous professional development.
Social work is demanding, often with limited resources. By uniting through NASW, social workers strengthen their collective voice and influence, empowering the profession to drive meaningful change with policymakers, elected officials, and employers to better support both the profession and society.
