A number of committees help complete the important regulatory and community work that the NBASW does.
The NBASW Has Three Types of Committees:
Regulatory Committees: Responsible for the activities related to registration, complaints and discipline of membership, mandated by the Provincial Act. These committees are the Committee of Examiners, Complaints Committee and Discipline Committee.
Standing Committees: Permanent committees whose responsibilities and mandate are described in NBASW bylaws. These committees are the Education Committee, Social Action Committee, Bylaws Committee, Practice Issues, Ethics and Professional Standards Committee and Management Committee.
Ad Hoc Committees: Temporary committees set up by the Board for a limited time to address a particular issue or interest. Current ad hoc committees are the Reopening of the Act Committee, Indigenous Guidance Committee and the Promotion of the Profession Committee.
Committee members are appointed by the Board of Directors. Association members can apply now to be part of a committee. Terms are for two years and can be renewed for a second term. Each committee can have up to six members.
