NASW's governance structure is designed to ensure that the organization 
is responsive to the needs of our members and the profession. The NASW 
Board of Directors is the governing body of the Association, and it is 
responsible for setting policy and overseeing the organization's 
operations.
The NASW Bylaws outline the structure and responsibilities 
of the Board of Directors, as well as the procedures for electing and 
removing directors. The NASW also has a number of national committees 
that advise the Board of Directors on a variety of issues. These 
committees are made up of NASW members who volunteer their time to 
represent the interests of the profession.
