Whether or not you choose to participate you will benefit from the work of these professional organizations in many of the political and practice accomplishments that impact your work and the lives of your clients.

The sad truth is that membership in professional organizations is way down across the country. You need representation. And, we need your support to continue…both financial and active participation. Over the last few years some societies have completely disbanded due to lack of leadership and membership. The Federation is addressing this by beginning a process of more centralized administration with the new Executive Director at the helm.  The CSWS-DE Board prefers preserving the local benefits of having a state society for the reasons cited above.
