The Social Welfare Action Alliance (SWAA) is a national organization of progressive workers in human
services. Founded in 1985, the Alliance is based on key principles that reflect a concern for peace
and social justice and coalition building with progressive social movements. These principles articulate a
need by social service workers for a practice and theory that responds to progressive concerns.
Members and others interested in these principles and the above conference theme are invited to
register for the conference.
A complete conference program schedule and information on registration and accomodations
is available by downloading the conference program. Extra copies of
only the registration form can be downloaded as well.
