The BCASW Strategic Plan
The BCASW Strategic Plan is a living document developed to guide and focus the organization. It is reviewed annually by the BCASW Board of Directors to safeguard that the goals of the organization remain relevant and timely to our membership. The four end goals are Professional Advocacy, Social Advocacy, Membership Service, and a Strengthened Association.
