Ways you can volunteer with us
Our chapter's success is a collective effort, and we are looking for interested members to join our board committees. These committees are at the heart of our chapter's activities:
- Ethics Committee: This committee plays a critical role in upholding the ethical standards of our profession and addressing ethical dilemmas faced by social workers.

- Political Action for Candidate Election (PACE):PACE is the Political Action Committee (PAC) of NASW and operates as a separate entity from the Chapter, with its own governance structure and separate bank account. The purpose of the committee is to advance the public policy goals of NASW through involvement in campaigns and elections. NASW Delaware’s PACE endorses and contributes to candidates who support NASW policy priorities and mobilizes social workers to engage in the electoral process, including voting for PACE-endorsed candidates. The Delaware Chapter’s PACE focuses on local and state elections, while the national PACE endorses and contributes to federal candidates. This is an excellent time to become involved with PACE, as the committee seeks representatives from across the Delaware Chapter.

- Legislative Committee: This committee is composed of representatives from the Chapter’s practice committees and other interested members. The purpose of the committee is to establish the legislative priorities of the NASW Delaware Chapter in advance of each Delaware General Assembly session. When appropriate, the committee may draft and promote legislation. Otherwise, the committee works with the Chapter’s lobbyists to support or oppose legislation that impacts social workers and the individuals and communities they serve.

- Continuing Education Task Force: NASW Delaware is excited to announce the establishment of its Continuing Education Task Force, which will convene quarterly to help shape the direction of standalone workshops and conferences offered by the Chapter. Task Force members play a key role in strengthening NASW Delaware’s educational programming by suggesting relevant topics, identifying knowledgeable speakers, and recommending appropriate locations for events. Members also contribute to the review of program materials and content to ensure the delivery of high-quality, meaningful professional development opportunities for social workers across Delaware. This initiative reflects NASW Delaware’s commitment to fostering a dynamic and inclusive learning environment that meets the evolving needs of our members and the broader social work community.
