We are excited to welcome Angela N. Fawcett, BSW RSW, as our new Executive Director at the Social Workers Association of Alberta (SWAA)! Angela brings over a decade of social work experience, having served in diverse practice settings, including mental health, chronic disease management, child protection, and services for marginalized communities. She is known for her compassionate leadership, integrity, and dedication to advancing the social work profession.
