We have BIG news at the Ohio Chapter! We are the recipient of a grant from Interact for Health to deepen our advocacy for workforce supports. Their generous funding is allowing us to hire a full-time Chapter staff member for the next two years (we will work to obtain ongoing funding for the position). This staff person will focus on raising insurance reimbursement rates to increase social workers' salaries, obtaining funding for paid internships for social work students, and looking into creating an alternative to the social work licensure exam. The salary is $65,000, offers benefits, and is based in Columbus, OH (not a remote position).

This will increase our staff from three staff to four staff; significantly increasing our capacity for advocacy. Our work at NASW Ohio is possible because of NASW Members- this is what your membership dues are able to do.

Hi Monica! This position is focused on statewide advocacy, so the work they do will benefit all parts of the state. The position is located in Columbus, Ohio, physically because that is where the NASW Ohio office is. Our Columbus base provides easy access to the Ohio Statehouse, where most of our lobbying work takes place. I hope that helps to clarify!
This is awesome! It would be great to have similar position in the Cleveland area to support advocacy for social work interns and professionals in Northeast Ohio.
