The Association of Baccalaureate Social Work Program Directors


The Association of Baccalaureate Social Work Program Directors, Inc. (BPD) is dedicated to the promotion of excellence in Baccalaureate Social Work Education. Our first annual conference was hosted in Nazareth, Kentucky in 1983. From its humble beginning with 53 attendees and 21 presentations, the annual conference is the premiere event for baccalaureate social work education. We are excited and planning another amazing conference. Can't wait to see you in 2026!

The conference will be held at the Sheraton (Canal Street) in New Orleans.
