HERDI National is the founding division of HERDI and includes over fifty advisory board members who come together with innovative companies to fulfill the HERDI mission. This influential group sits on the boards of the American Association of Community Colleges, The Association of Community College Trustees and the League for Innovation in the Community College, among other prestigious organizations.

HERDI National advisory board members have won the Aspen Prize for Community College Excellence, Phi Theta Kappa’s Shirley B. Gordon award, and many other national recognitions of their ground-breaking work in the field. This division meets twice a year in spring and fall, preceding the annual meetings of the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) and the Association of Community College Trustees (ACCT).

In our panel sessions, HERDI brings client partners face to face with our community college Chancellors and Presidents for three hour “Shark Tank” like sessions to answer questions regarding the effectiveness, credibility and persuasiveness of their product or service. Companies achieve their goals at HERDI while they research, sharpen, reshape and refine their messaging, pricing, product development and strategies.

You can learn more about our panel sessions and the dates of
our upcoming events on this page.
