Shared Interest Groups

The NASW Illinois Chapter Shared Interest Groups (SIGs) are formal organizational units that are created and maintained by members with similar social work–related interests. Through the SIGs, members can pursue narrower, substantive subjects while NASW Illinois focuses on the broader interests of the larger membership base.
