As the Director of Policy for the National Association of Social Workers, Karin Moran works with the New York State Legislature on behalf of the 11,000+ NASW-NYS members.  Karin actually began her career as an advocate / lobbyist with NASW seven years ago as the Chapter’s Political Field Organizer.  A role that included working on Hillary Clinton’s first Senatorial campaign in addition to several other congressional and state races.  Karin then went on to serve as the Chapters primary lobbyist as the Government Relations Specialist for three years until she moved on to become the Associate Director of an Albany based lobbying firm.  Several years later she briefly served as the Deputy Director of the New York Public Welfare Association but was soon recruited by NASW-NYS to be their first Director of Policy.

Throughout her career, Karin has focused on human service issues such as access to health and mental health services, social services and a number of civil liberty issues.
