  • beth quesnel For me the bottom line is supporting with cash my belief in the values of our profession. For about the cost of one lunch out per week, I can help fund social workers who advocate on a provincial, national and international level for a fairer and healthier society. What a bargain! I look at my dues as a charitable donation - and consider all the benefits of being an active member as a bonus.
