Overview

ASWB currently utilizes a custom system which was designed to allow the organization to track different attributes of Social Work regulations across ASWBs member boards and jurisdictions. This information is routinely updated by dedicated ASWB staff, and viewed by both internal and external individuals.

Since its inception the attributes tracked and the associated data have outgrown the current systems capabilities and ASWB is currently looking to solicit replacements of the application based on the documented requirements listed in the attached pages.
