Should I register for the event in the region where I live or where my job/school is located?
That's completely up to you! You don't need to live, work, or attend school in a region to attend its networking event. All social workers and students are welcome at any region's event! Learn more about our regions.

Will CEUs be provided?
CEUs are generally provided. However, if it's just social gathering with no specific topic of discussion/presentation, no CEUs will be offered.

You are free to purchase your own food or drinks. NASW-MN will not provide any free food or drinks.

What's parking like at my region's event venue? Can I get to it on a bus?
