Meet the 2018-2020 NASW Board

We are pleased to announce the results of the recent NASW elections. Thank you to all of the candidates who ran and to those taking up the role for the next term. NASW is truly an organization of volunteers. From committee members to board members, the many hours put in on behalf of NASW's programs and organization are numerous: last year we had 400+ volunteers in various roles, and board members collectively contributed an estimated 1,862 hours. We couldn't do it without you!

Please join us in Washington, D.C., Oct. 12-16 for ScienceWriters2018 as we welcome our new board members and pay tribute to those who are cycling off. We will also have a special celebration for longtime ScienceWriters editor Lynne Friedmann.

Congratulations to all!

The new board will take office on Oct. 12, prior to the ScienceWriters2018 meeting. The current board will continue to serve until then.

We are grateful to the following current board members who are cycling off the board, having given a collective 30+ years of service to the organization. Our deepest thanks to these “retiring" board members, many of whom will continue to volunteer in other capacities:
