How Your Donation Makes an Impact:
Joining the Interstate Compact
Our lobbying partners at Greenlee Partners are dedicated to helping PSCSW bring Pennsylvania into the interstate compact for licensed social workers. This compact will allow members to practice across state lines, enhancing job opportunities and improving access to care, especially during our current workforce shortage. Your support directly contributes to these ongoing efforts to pass legislation that opens new doors for social workers in Pennsylvania and neighboring states.
Legislative Progress
This year, the Pennsylvania General Assembly made significant strides by preparing for multiple interstate compacts. Bills passed to align background check requirements and allow temporary rulemaking are essential steps forward. Lobbyists Ben and Becca have been crucial in these discussions, ensuring that social workers’ voices are heard. Your donation ensures we can continue this momentum into the next legislative session.
Ongoing Advocacy
Between legislative sessions, Greenlee Partners meets with key stakeholders, like the Executive Directors of professional licensure committees, to lay the groundwork for future successes. With your support, we aim to have Representative Aerion Abney, a fellow social worker, sponsor our legislation in the House again and secure a Senate sponsor—doubling our chances of success.
Beyond Legislation: Expanding Care Access
In addition to legislative work, Ben and Becca engage with agencies like the Medical Assistance Advisory Committee, addressing critical issues such as the new “4-walls rule.” This change allows psychiatric care beyond traditional settings, potentially expanding services to more clients. Donations fund these essential non-legislative efforts that directly impact your practice and client care.
Meet Our Advocates: Ben and Becca
A proud graduate of York College of Pennsylvania, Ben’s deep roots in York County and his family’s insurance background have fueled his passion for local politics. Since joining Greenlee Partners in 2016, he has been instrumental in managing client interests and navigating complex legislative landscapes. With experience in healthcare, energy, and insurance policy, Ben brings a collaborative approach to solving challenges that matter to Pennsylvanians. His commitment ensures PSCSW’s voice is heard and priorities are advanced in Harrisburg.
Becca’s dedication to social work runs deep—she holds both bachelor’s and master’s degrees in social work from Shippensburg University. Her career began with advocacy for victims’ rights, and she’s since supported various campaigns, including grassroots voter registration and small business initiatives. At Greenlee Partners, Becca focuses on legislative analysis, grant applications, and lobbying, always prioritizing the needs of social workers. When not advancing PSCSW’s causes, Becca volunteers with organizations like the National Association of Social Workers and Speranza Animal Rescue, reflecting her passion for service and community impact.
