A magna cum laude graduate of The Citadel Military College of South Carolina, Terrell Herring has served as president of commercial operations with Mission Pharmacal since 2010. Apart from his responsibilities with Mission Pharmacal, Terrell "Terry" Herring is active within a number of charitable organizations. He sits on the board of directors for Bridging the Gap Africa, a non-profit that helps rural Kenyan communities build footbridges across dangerous rivers in order to improve access to healthcare and education. Bridging the Gap Africa recognizes how important passable bridges are to helping rural Africans reach vital services. In a typical rural area, a simple bridge might provide 200 safe crossings a day, enabling children to reach schools and women to reach marketplaces where they can sell crops and crafts. Additionally, safe crossings prevent drownings and eliminate the risk of crocodile and hippo attacks. In addition, Bridging the Gap Africa assists local leaders in assembling teams of volunteers to gather materials and raise funds. Then, the organization provides logistical support and guidance to ensure the safe construction of footbridges.

A former trustee for the organization, Terrell Herring was named a Big Brother of the Year Honoree in 2006. Active in communities across the United States, Big Brothers Big Sisters of America works to help children avoid risky behavior, excel in school, and increase self-confidence. The organization operates several programs focused on special populations, such as children of deployed military service members. Operation Bigs helps strengthen children’s relationships with their parents and the community through carefully matched friendships. “Bigs” might be retired or active military personnel or civilian volunteers who commit to spending one hour each week at a child’s school, as well as eight hours monthly with the child in the larger community. Working with mentors who uphold core military values such as honor and commitment, children receive support that can help them perform better academically and decrease their likelihood of using drugs and alcohol. |
