HERDI Fall Meeting in Dallas Sets New Records

It’s clear that the value of the HERDI process is spreading rapidly. Not only did the number of client companies increase the fall, but the number of Observers* set new records as well.  Of the six observing companies, four have already committed to becoming a client at the spring meeting in Orlando next April.  Current clients are returning in 2012 and provide generous comments on their experience at HERDI:  “Presidential insight on both operational and strategic issues is invaluable.  Honesty and openness of presidents terrific.”  “Great group–lots of engagement and good answers to questions and sharing of new ideas.”  “I found every membr to be very open, helpful and engaged.  A lot of very insightful ideas were shared and vetted.  An excellent experience.”  “The panel was very useful.  The panelists provided frank critique of our ideas and offered a number of valuable ideas for us to pursue.” 

The reception and dinner gave all participants a chance to mingle and exchange ideas.  Dinner sponsor, SunGard Higher Ed, offered special praise that was captured in a recent blog on this website.  Spaces at the HERDI Spring, 2012, session are filling fast.  Don’t be left out.

*Observers pay a small fee to observe the HERDI process in action, with approval of a current HERDI client.  Observers also have the opportunity to meet all of the HERDI presidents and chancellors at the reception and banquet that are always  entertaining and enlightening portions of the session.

Our next session is in Orlando, April 18-20!
