Chris Ferguson

Chris Ferguson

Through his development and stewardship of the NWACC Leadership Program, Chris Ferguson has guided, challenged, and inspired members of the higher education IT community to realize their full potential as exceptional leaders.

“The thing that has impressed me the most about Chris is his openness, which can be found in the iterative and collaborative way he plans the camps; in his willingness to seek and carefully consider the feedback of camp participants to improve the experience for all involved; and in the way he has approached every conversation I’ve had with him thoughtfully and fully engaged. It takes a lot of energy and strength of character to remain that open, and I appreciate him greatly for it.”
