Panel Sessions

For in person HERDI Sessions

What is a HERDI Panel Session?

HERDI brings client partners face to face with community college chancellors, presidents and senior leaders in two and three hour “Shark Tank” like sessions to answer questions regarding the effectiveness, credibility and persuasiveness of their product or service. The panel becomes the client partners’ personal research and development arm by providing important feedback. Our panelists are not shy. They listen and tell it like it is…because what you do with their input will ultimately benefit their students and their institutions, as well as your company.

Upcoming Panel Sessions:

HERDI Virtual

Due to the high demand for continuous feedback from influential community college leaders during the pandemic, we are continuing an additional way companies can work with most of the HERDI divisions. It is called HERDI Virtual. Client partners can now contract for Virtual panels throughout the year. Many find this a convenient, affordable way to access the panel sessions.
