How often do we here the word "politics"and immediately assign it a negative connotation?
Well, I want you to consider this. There is nothing inherently nasty about politics. In fact, the NASW-MA Chapter has, and continues to, positively affect social change through politics.
Case in point- PACE which is the acronym for the NASW MA Chapter’s Political Action for Candidate Election arm. This Committee of highly informed political ‘junkies’ –all lively NASW members – who are hungry for political and electoral happenings, keeps the Chapter and the Association on the front burner of electoral activities. Because of PACE’s important work, which includes interviewing and endorsing candidates who share the same values and vision as social workers, NASW-MA is seen as the organization that candidates seek endorsement when running for both State Senate and House seats. Sitting at the small conference table in the Chapter office, interviewing the next potential Treasurer or Governor for the state is a thrilling experience. This is an exciting time to get involved with PACE as the group starts to plan its upcoming strategies. You can be part of this worthy AND positive process.
Empower yourself. Join PACE today!
