Professional Liability Insurance Update

As you are aware, professional liability insurance is a must for social workers.  CSWNA has been unable to obtain group rates at this point because we are a growing association unlike NASW with thousands of members.  I hear on a regular basis, “I want to join CSWNA but I need insurance, if you get insurance I would drop my membership and join CSWNA.  However, I would like to educate you on membership fees and insurance costs with both associations.

NASW membership fees for MSW, PhD, DSW            =   $190 yr

NASW insurance for MSW                                         =   $225 yr

Total                                                                             $415.00 yr

CSWNA membership fees for MSW, PhD, DSW          =   $ 60 yr

Insurance through Rockport for MSW                          =   $360 yr

Total                                                                             $420.00 yr

You have to ask yourself if your Catholic faith and values are worth $5.00 a year.
