What's This?

Where's the latest issue of the Association of Social Work Boards newsletter? You're looking at it.

Beginning with the May/June issue, association news is moving to an online format. The new format is not only cheaper and more environmentally friendly, but will allow ASWB to include a wider range of stories and information than possible in the standard printed version.

We hope you enjoy the change.
