An update from our Treasurer
In the era of COVID-19 I wanted to provide members with an update on the status of NASW’s finances. The bottom line is that the organization is currently in stable fiscal shape, despite the state of the national and global economy. We are moving forward very conservatively to ensure continued stable footing so that we have resources in place to support members during the ongoing crisis.

Update on ScienceWriters2020
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Council for the Advancement of Science Writing and NASW have decided that it is unwise to continue with a plan for a large, in-person October gathering, given the unknown and potentially high level of risk for individuals. We will postpone our gathering in Colorado, originally scheduled for October 2020, until the fall of 2021.
