Superintendent for Golden Hills School Division, who served as CASS President for 2019-2021, Bevan Daverne, has been named Canadian Superintendent of the Year at the Canadian Association of School System Administrators (CASSA) Annual Conference in St. Andrews By The Sea, New Brunswick. Bevan received the EXL National Award at a ceremony held at the conference’s awards luncheon on July 7, 2022.
Jointly sponsored by Xerox Canada Ltd and CASSA, the EXL Award acknowledges exemplary leadership at the school system level, with recipients having enhanced the profession of school system administration throughout their career. Bevan was one of three provincial and territorial nominees recognized at the CASSA Conference.
Golden Hills’ Board Chair, Laurie Huntley, applauds Bevan on receiving this honour and noted that “Bevan is an individual who demonstrates both the science and art of leadership. He models the highest ethical standards of conduct and maintains a commitment to personal and professional growth.” We at CASS would agree, noting that Bevan played a significant role as CASS president from 2019 – 2021 in liaising with the Ministry of Education to support CASS’ recent attainment of legislated professional status. These efforts have been dedicated to enhancing in the public’s interest, the quality of system education leadership in our province.
Please join us in congratulating Bevan for this prestigious honour.
