Welcome

The Virginia Alliance of Social Work Practitioners is an organization promoting the professional development of Social Workers in public agencies across the Commonwealth. Our strength is in our numbers and in the participation of our members. Our committees have accomplished and contiune to pursue changes and updates within the public social services system that will enhance and improve our service provision and our professional status. In order to maintain our dynamic approach, our committees must be fully staffed and active. Please visit the Committee page and note where vacancies exist currently. If you are interested in serving on a committee or chairing a committee that is currently not active, please contact the current chairperson or contact the Executive Board to become involved. We need your active participation to continue to make our organization successful.
