One Social Work degree for many states? This may be a reality but not without it's fair share of drama/complexities. This week we are sharing updates about the new Social Work Interstate Compact. What does this mean for you with a Social Work degree? How is this helpful in your career and for our industry? And finally, what are the barriers to having this implemented?

Matt Shafer currently serves as the Deputy Director at the National Center for Interstate Compacts at The Council of State Governments. Matt works with state legislators and stakeholder groups to support the enactment of compacts for cosmetology, massage therapy, social work, dietitians, and dentistry. Matt has vast experience developing and building consensus on policy options for state legislators.

Matt has a master’s degree in public administration from the University of Kentucky.
