SASW is pleased to nominate Carole Bryant for the CASW Distinguished Service Award because we know her to be the perfect example of an unselfish professional who has made a significant contribution to the social work profession.
Carole has unique qualifications, professional experience in social work and an impressive slate of volunteer commitments. Carole’s 39 year career is founded on several credentials - BA (Sociology), BSW, MSW, MBA with a certified management accountant designation.
Carole has contributed strongly to the social work profession over the years and has done so at local, national and international tables. In the past, she has served as the chair of the SASW Professional Conduct Committee, SASW President and Editor of The Saskatchewan Social Worker. As well, Carole has served on a number of SASW Council sub-committees.
In 2014, she assumed the chair of the SASW Volunteer Development Committee.
Within the local community, Carole has served as President of the Regina and District Food Bank, as a board member of the Regina Legal Assistance, and a member of the Saskatchewan Coalition Against Racism.
Carole is currently the Treasurer of ASWB. In June of 2014, Carole was recognized by the Rotary Club at the district level with the World Community Service Award for her work in Africa.
Carole is currently employed at the Ranch Ehrlo Society as the Vice President of Administration. “The Ranch”, as it is known locally, is a large corporation delivering community, education, clinical, and residential treatment services to young persons.
It would appear to be very clear that Carole possesses a deep sense of commitment to her profession locally, nationally and internationally. She readily shares her time, energy and leadership within the professional and in the wider community. If her assistance is needed, Carole most often steps up to serve. Carole is frequently to be found in the chairs of leadership once she has committed herself to an organization or cause. All of this has been recognized by her other profession, the Certified Management Accountants of Saskatchewan, and by the Rotary Club. SASW believes it is time for the social work profession to recognize Carole’s solid contributions to this profession and to the wider community.
