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.

Angela is currently pursuing her MSW at Wilfrid Laurier University with a focus on social justice and leadership, reflecting her commitment to ongoing learning and professional development. In her previous leadership roles, including her time as Executive Director of a nonprofit, she fostered supportive environments, strengthened community partnerships, and influenced policy and social change.

As our new Executive Director, Angela aims to empower social workers, enhance professional development opportunities, and advocate for the vital work social workers do across Alberta. We look forward to the exciting initiatives and collaborations that lie ahead under her leadership.

Welcome, Angela! We are thrilled to have you on board as we continue to support and grow the social work profession together. We will be hosting some Meet the ED sessions in the near future, so stay tuned for updates!
