EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S BLOG 

Joel Rubin

 The summer of 2026 has been one of volatile weather across the state of Wisconsin. My hope is that any necessary clean-up has been completed, that everyone’s power, if lost, has been restored and you all remain safe.


At the end of August, the state of Wisconsin was notified that it will be receiving up to nearly $313 million. of the $17 billion in the settlement with Meta, which will implement sweeping child-safety reforms on Instagram and Facebook. This is one of the largest court settlements in American history. We thank the efforts of Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul, who noted last week, “This is a monumental step in changing the role of social media in kids’ lives for the better.” The settlement requires Meta to implement a series of safety features on Instagram and Facebook which are noted in the statement from the Attorney General’s office, press-release-meta-settlement.pdf.

Marc Seidel - Current President

As summer changes to fall and we look ahead to the new season to come, I find myself stepping into the role of NASW-Wisconsin President and reflecting on where our chapter has been and where we are going. It is an honor to take on this responsibility, and I want to thank our prior President, Kimberly Howard, for her leadership these past two years. I also want to acknowledge the more than 30 years of leadership of our former Executive Director, Marc Herstand. Marc’s decades of leadership, his institutional knowledge and his commitment to the social work profession in Wisconsin have shaped our chapter into what it is today. The debt of gratitude cannot be fully explained in words, and his legacy will continue to guide our work and our profession for years to come.
