Nikki Byrne is the Director of Programs & Partnerships at FTA. After working for more than 15 years with grassroots charities in Toronto, primarily in a fundraising capacity, she then pursued a Graduate Diploma in Social Responsibility & Sustainability. Nikki has always placed great value on cultivating relationships, recognizing that collaboration is the key to driving change, and quickly realized how this is particularly relevant to the apparel industry and its efforts to reduce its social and environmental impact. Nikki is a long-time advocate for sustainable living and is thrilled to be able to accelerate sustainability in the fashion industry through her role at FTA.
