Sally's work extends beyond professional achievements, as she has served in volunteer leadership roles for over 30 years in higher education, healthcare, and other nonprofit organizations. She has contributed her expertise to the Robert H. Williams Diabetes Research Council at the University of Washington, the Board of Trustees at the Washington State University Foundation, and served as a volunteer speaker and mentor throughout the US and Canada in support of the philanthropy professions.

Upon receiving the award, Bryant expressed deep gratitude for the recognition and highlighted her continued commitment to fostering leadership and philanthropic excellence. "This award encapsulates my lifelong dedication to serving and enhancing our clients' ability to advance their philanthropic missions. I am truly humbled to be acknowledged in this way," said Bryant.
