LEAD stands for Legislative Education and Advocacy Day. LEAD is the annual NASW-NJ Chapter event that brings hundreds of social work students and professionals to the State House in Trenton. The goal of this event is to further social workers’ knowledge about policy issues in substantive areas of social work practice, teach participants about legislative advocacy, and provide an opportunity for social workers to lobby on behalf of specific legislation. Check-in begins at 9:00 a.m.
