Continuing Education Contact Hours (CEs)

CE Credits:

NACSW, provider #1078, is approved as a provider for social work continuing education by the Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB), through the Approved Continuing Education (ACE) program. The final authority for approving any continuing education activity rests with the state or province in which the participant is licensed. Training participants are still responsible to check with their local authorities to verify that convention offerings meet their jurisdictional standards for continuing education credit and/or licensure renewal. Even states accepting ACE approval may have exceptions for courses they will approve.

NACSW is able to offer CEs for all workshop sessions, plenary and panel sessions, the Community Conversations Meeting, and preconvention institutes. NACSW is not able to offer CEUs for: poster presentations; small group networking meetings; and devotions and worship. If you attend the full day preconvention institute, all plenary sessions, the panel, the Community Conversations Meeting, and one workshop during each workshop time slot, you could receive up to 20.75 continuing education contact hours.

Requirements to Receive CE Credits:

Attendees that request CEs will link to a webpage that has been set up for participants to log each workshop, preconvention institute, and plenary session they participated in for the entire convention.

In order to receive credit for attending a CE-eligible session, attendees must:

• sign in, sign out, and attend the entire session
• complete/submit online an evaluation for that session
• check off online that they have attended that session on the electronic CE form
