NASW Foundation Presents William Bell with Sarnat Award

In April, NASW Executive Director Betsy Clark traveled to Seattle to present the Rhoda G. Sarnat Award to 2007 recipient William C. Bell, MSW, President and CEO of Casey Family Programs. The Sarnat Award recognizes an individual, group, or organization that has significantly advanced the public image of professional social work. Mr. Bell is an unfailing advocate for social workers and the clients they serve, particularly children and families involved with the foster care system. He generously agreed to appear in the National Social Work Public Education Campaign video, “On Any Given Day,” through which viewers may learn what it means to practice social work at the highest, policy-setting level.
