The Target Audience

NASW-VT is one of 56 chapters affiliated with the National Association of Social Workers, an organization with approximately 150,000 members. NASW-VT membership numbers approximately 525 and represents the interests of professionally trained social workers in the State of Vermont and advocates for positive social change.

Members are well-educated professionals who hold bachelor’s, master’s or doctoral degrees in social work. They are self-employed or employed in non-profit and government agencies, hospitals and other health care facilities, and educational institutions. They represent the largest single group providing mental health services. They live in all corners of the State of Vermont with the largest concentrations in Chittenden, Washington, Windham, and Rutland Counties. By virtue of their work, social workers are often well-connected to local resource networks.

Depending on their work settings, members may use practice management products and services, office supplies and equipment, web access and computer network installation and maintenance, answering services, insurance, bookkeeping, conference calling facilities, financial planning and accounting services, legal services, and other supports common to small businesses.

The Chapter website, www.naswvt.org, is an open website and has the potential to reach an audience of over 1000 social workers in Vermont and neighboring states.

Persons and organizations who would like to communicate with this audience about employment or services and products are encouraged to advertise

• In the Chapter newsletter
• On the website or
• By underwriting or sponsoring Chapter educational events.

Advertisements are subject to approval by the Executive Director and may be refused if deemed unsuitable.
