This webinar discusses the following questions and more: - What is the Commission and how does it oversee the Social Work Licensure Compact? - Which states have joined the Compact so far? - How will LCSWs join the interstate Social Work Licensure Compact? - How can LCSWs encourage their states to join the Social Work Licensure Compact? - What is the timeline for implementation of the Social Work Licensure Compact? - What will the fees be to join the Social Work Licensure Compact? - Will Compact members need to meet the continuing education standards for all Compact states?
