The Social Work Diversity Network is a new initiative of the NASW Oregon Chapter Diversity Committee.
The goal of the Social Work Diversity Network is to bring together a group of committed social workers moving towards common diversity goals in Oregon. The Social Work diversity Network will provide a framework for organizing and advocacy efforts, and will keep its members informed via email announcements, events and action alerts. To join the network, simply fill out the form below and return by mail, fax or email.
Members of the network are also invited to attend the NASW Oregon Chapter Diversity Committee meetings, which take place monthly in the Portland area. NASW's Diversity Committee was formed in 2006 with the goal of recruiting, supporting, representing, and empowering underrepresented social workers in Oregon. Our future objectives and activities include:
- Promoting and distributing our comprehensive online diversity referral directory
- Sponsoring diversity educational, advocacy and networking events
- Advocating for cultural competence in social work licensure requirements
- Partnering with local universities to recruit and mentor underrepresented social work students
Together with partner organizations, we can bring these objectives forward toward the overall goal of promoting greater diversity in social work delivery services
YES! I'd like to join the NASW Oregon Chapter
