Established in 2023, the Group for the Advancement for Doctoral Education in Social Work Student Advisory Board (SAB) consists of doctoral students from member institutions (PhD and DSW programs) serving a two-year appointment.

The purpose of the SAB is to encourage stronger student engagement with the organization and provide a mechanism for the Board of Directors to better understand student concerns through increased student voice and input into the organization’s activities.
