With the exception of the Examination Committee, which is composed of former item writers, committee members are volunteers who serve on social work regulatory boards or are regulatory board staff. These individuals donate their time to ASWB in addition to their existing board responsibilities. Attendance at Leadership Weekend is a required component of committee service.
Elected leadership
Each year at the ASWB Annual Meeting of the delegate assembly, delegates vote for individuals to serve on ASWB’s Board of Directors and Nominating Committee.

Joining a committee
Most committee members are appointed by the president and approved by the Board of Directors at its first meeting of the calendar year. Anyone who serves on an ASWB member board or is staff to an ASWB member board is eligible to serve on a committee.
Examination Committee
The Examination Committee is appointed from a select group of licensed social workers who write questions for the examinations.
Committee interest form
Please review committee information and time commitment before completing the interest form. The term is one year. It is important for committee members to complete the year-end committee service assessment to provide feedback and express interest in reappointment should committee work require additional terms. Committees are appointed in January each year. For consideration for the upcoming year, interest forms must be received by November 14.
