Angela N. Fawcett, BSW, RSW
Executive Director
I am Angela Fawcett BSW, RSW located in Edmonton. I am honored to step into the role of Executive Director for SWAA. I have a passion for ongoing learning and professional development and as such am pursuing my MSW through Wilfred Laurier with a focus on social justice and leadership.
In previous leadership roles, including my time as Executive Director of a non profit, I focused on fostering supportive environments, enhancing community partnerships, and influencing policy and social change.
I am excited to collaborate with members and stakeholders to promote best practices, enhance professional development opportunities, and continue advocating for the essential work we do in supporting individuals, families, and communities.
