Advocacy Government Relations Committee (AGR)

Social workers know the issues better than anyone. The Advocacy and Government Relations (AGR) Committee makes sure they're the ones driving the agenda.

Formed to revitalize NASW-NY's legislative efforts, the AGR Committee empowers members to lead the Chapter's advocacy and policy work from the ground up.

Each year, the committee develops and executes NASW-NY's legislative agenda by identifying priorities, building relationships with legislators, and mobilizing the Chapter's voice on the issues that matter most to social workers and the communities they serve.

Attending a Meeting

To attend an AGR meeting, email Amanda Pressly, Policy Coordinator, or Gideon Mosse, Policy Coordinator for the NYC region.

Advocacy Committees are a member benefit; however, individuals are welcome to attend their first meeting as a guest. To continue participation, membership with the NASW-NY Chapter is required. For information on how to join, visit the NASW-NY Membership page.
