Introducing NASW’s New Look: Stronger. Bolder. United.

NASW has unveiled a new logo to reflect the strength, unity, and evolution of our profession. The new logo and color palette represents a renewed commitment to purpose, collaboration, and action.

 

This new look was shaped by feedback from social workers across the country who shared a desire for a modern, unified NASW that better reflects who we are today and where we’re going—together.

 

Check out the new logo, brand video, and the story behind the redesign here: the .

Celebrating Pride Month

NASW-ND stands in solidarity with our LGBTQIA+ members, clients, and communities. Pride Month is a powerful reminder of the ongoing work needed to ensure equity and affirmation for all. Thank you for the advocacy and allyship you bring to your practice each and every day.

Juneteenth

In recognition of Juneteenth, all NASW offices will be closed on Thursday, June 19. This day honors the emancipation of enslaved African Americans and reminds us of the importance of continued action toward racial justice.

Board Meetings

The NASW-ND Board of Directors are planning to meet in July, September, and November. We will keep you updated as meeting dates are scheduled and meetings are held.

MMIP Task Force

A new task force is being developed in North Dakota to address the high rate of missing indigenous persons while providing education and further data collection -- something that is not easily attainable.
