Meet Vesna Higham, Business Development Manager at CRT Legal.
Vesna brings a rare blend of legal expertise, public service, and community leadership to CRT Legal. She holds an undergrad degree from the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon; a law degree from Osgoode Hall Law School in Toronto; was called to the Alberta Bar in 1992; and has spent over thirty years living and working in Central Alberta, including raising five children with her husband, Doug.
She served three terms as an elected official on Red Deer’s City Council, seven years on Red Deer’s Municipal Planning Commission, and nearly two decades as an adjudicator on appeal boards across the province.
The daughter of immigrant parents from a former European communist country, Vesna's path into public service has always been driven by a deep sense of civic duty. That same quiet leadership shows up in every corner of the work she does at CRT Legal.
We are grateful to have her with us.
In Vesna’s words, "Start somewhere, anywhere, to step outside your comfort bubble and reach out for something new. Keep making connections in your community. Doors will open. Your circle of influence will grow. Meaningful change often happens incrementally over time."
