The Legislative Committee reviews policy issues that deserve the attention of legislators and other officials, and develops a set of legislative priorities for the Chapter on an annual basis. Depending on the issues and opportunities at hand, members may provide testimony to legislative committees, help to draft proposed legislation, or monitor current bills and outcomes for the chapter.

Members are encouraged to join our Legislative Committee meetings. During the legislative season (January to May) the Committee meets the first and third Wednesdays from Noon - 1pm virtually via Zoom (all meetings are currently virtual due to the ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic). Outside of the legislative season the Committee generally meets 1x/month (on the 3rd Wednesday of each month from noon-1pm via Zoom) in the Fall from August-December in order to prepare for the upcoming Legislative Session.

There is an ongoing need for more communication and solidarity in the scholarly community of social work students in the BSW/BSSW, MSW, & DSW/Ph. D. programs throughout Colorado. With this in mind, we starting a recurring monthly 1-hour meeting for social work students, university program Student-led Social Work Clubs, faculty advisors, etc. to connect and share interests, questions, and concerns with each other.

These meetings will be facilitated by the NASW-CO Student Board Representatives & ALL are welcome & encouraged to join (NASW membership is NOT required to participate).
