This initial edition of the Kansas Social Work Profile would not have been possible without a Ruth Fizdale research grant through the NASW Foundation. We hope the information analyzed and compiled in this guide will be an ongoing resource for you. Kansas Chapter is committed to the professional growth and development of Kansas social workers and to increase awareness of our profession's needs and challenges with policymakers and legislators.

Thank you to Timothy Davis, Ph.D., LSCSW, (past president, NASW, Kansas Chapter board of directors) and Matthew Benorden, M.Div., LMSW (Vice President) who wrote this inaugural guidebook for Kansas social workers. Last this work would not have been possible without the vision, support and leadership of the NASW, Kansas Chapter’s Board of Directors.
