Bylaws: June 2022

CSWE provides national leadership and collective action designed to ensure the preparation and continued growth of competent and committed social work professionals. This includes promoting and maintaining the quality of social work educational programs and stimulating the development of knowledge, practice, and service effectiveness designed to promote social justice and further community and individual well-being. More information about CSWE's purpose can be found in its bylaws (PDF) that were updated in June 2022.

CSWE Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Policy

The Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) is committed to valuing and reflecting the diverse voices, perspectives, and experiences of our members throughout the organization and its programming. The intent of this document is to provide guidance on including diverse voices and perspectives and to keep diversity, equity, and inclusion in focus as we hire staff, appoint volunteers, elect individuals, and select vendors. This includes, but is not limited to, culture, race, religion, age, sex/gender, sexual orientation, disability, and country of origin of people. As our understanding deepens about the intersectional, complex, and nuanced nature of diversity, this document will help the organization be responsive, innovative, and forward-thinking. This policy is not intended to remain static and can be accessed at this link.
