Biography

Advocate for higher education
Brett
Fairbairn
British Columbia, Canada
President and Vice-Chancellor of Thompson Rivers University, Kamloops, B.C., Canada, since December 2018.
The unifying passion behind my work is a fascination for how people work together in organizations, and how innovations in organizations lead to social change. I have worked with people in co-operatives, universities, and colleges to understand and develop the unique adaptations of governance and leadership that work in their specific environments.
