Notice: Dual Membership Option Ending on 8/18/23
The School Social Work Association of America (SSWAA) has updated their membership options and have new rates as of 8/1/23. CSSWA has previously offered a dual membership option (CSSWA + SSWAA).
Payment was provided to SSWAA, on behalf of CSSWA dual members, through a manual process of the CSSWA Treasurer writing and mailing checks via USPS. This process often caused a delay for our members in configuring their SSWAA account and accessing SSWAA members-only resources.
Because of the various membership levels now available for SSWAA and the noted lag in dual members accessing resources, beginning 8/18/23, the dual membership option will no longer be available on CSSWA.org.
Between 8/1/23 - 8/18/23, any new dual members will be enrolled in the basic SSWAA membership option along with an annual CSSWA membership. Review SSWAA membership levels by visiting: sswaa.org/sswaa-membership.
Any existing dual members will be converted to the CSSWA Regular membership level on their next renewal date.
The CSSWA Regular Membership rate of $50 annually will not increase. The Student, Retired, and Affiliate Membership levels and rates will also remain in tact.
We fully encourage our CSSWA members to continue or enroll in SSWAA membership - not only because it supports advocacy and policy efforts at the national level, but there are also fantastic SSWAA member benefits including professional liability insurance and great professional learning opportunities.
We will have a link to SSWAA membership information and enrollment on our CSSWA Join page. Removing the dual membership option will allow you the flexibility to select your preferred SSWAA membership level and will expedite the time it takes to access members-only resources and benefits.
If you have any questions, please contact us at csswa.1@gmail.com.
