Committees

 

We have many exciting and diverse opportunities for volunteer involvement.  We have board positions, branch steering committees, board committees, specialized task forces, a caucus, and various networks that can appeal to different special interests in the membership.  One of the exciting things about NASW WI is that new special interest groups, task forces, caucuses or networks can be formed if there is enough interest from membership.  Our current list includes:
