CEO DWIGHT HYMANS contributed a blog post, Social Work Regulation: Essential to the Profession, to the New Social Worker website.

ASWB was a sponsor of Social Work Day on the Hill hosted by the Congressional Research Institute for Social Work & Policy. DWIGHT HYMANS was honored to present CRISP’s Congressional Social Worker of the Year award to Congress member Karen Bass of California.


Congratulations!
