The Social Work Compact Commission is made up of delegates from all 22 states that have passed the Compact bill; future states that pass the Compact bill will also have delegates to the Commission.
Additionally, after lengthy discussion and deliberation, three of the six groups that applied to become Ex Officio members were named in the Commission’s bylaws as having permanent Ex Officio (non-voting) seats at meetings of the Commission’s Executive Committee – CSWA, NASW, and ASWB. Laura Groshong, CSWA Director of Policy and Practice, was pleased to be named by CSWA President Stephanie Payne as the delegate from CSWA. The Ex Officio delegates will attend the Executive Committee meetings and have direct input into the decisions made by the Executive Committee for how the Compact will be run.
CSWA will keep its members informed on the progress of the Compact.
