New Look for Newsletter
Welcome to the first issue of MemberLink in its new format! We've partnered with newsletter publisher MultiView to refresh MemberLink's look and produce it. As before, MemberLink will continue to provide you with Association news, advocacy efforts, professional development and career opportunities, member benefit and discount information, and ways to get the most value out of your NASW membership. With the new format, we're now able to also connect you with even more resources that you may find useful in your work and personal life. Remember to complete your NASW member profile — and keep it current — so that you can continue to receive benefits such as MemberLink and help us represent you better nationally and locally. Thank you!

NASW firmly supports our nation's efforts to move forward in a positive way that acknowledges the inherent dignity and worth of all people. President-elect Trump has said he is committed to restoring economic prosperity to the United States, helping more Americans afford care for their children and relatives who are older adults, and providing more services to our nation's brave veterans and their families. We hope to build on these commonalities to move our country forward and will hold Mr. Trump accountable for his promises.
For updates on the Trump administration transition, please visit NASW's Advocacy blog.
