Terrell Herring serves as a member of the leadership team of Mission Pharmacal as its president of commercial operations. He also directs the operations of that company’s subsidiary Alamo Pharma Services as president. Beyond his professional endeavors, Terrell Herring serves on the Board of Directors of Bridging the Gap Africa, which sends volunteers into rural Kenyan communities to help construct footbridges over otherwise dangerous or impassable rivers. Many people in the East African country have no choice but to walk to get from one place to another, yet Kenya’s terrain is such that without good bridges, large numbers of adults could not hold jobs or take their crops to market; many children could not go to school; and numerous families would lack access to adequate health care. In one recent 10-year period, rain-inundated Kenyan ravines led to the deaths of some 6,000 people. Designing and building these bridges takes time, skill, and often back-breaking work. Construction projects can involve the shifting of many tons of sand, gravel, and other materials. But people around the world continue to reach out to help in numerous ways. For example, in 2013, a group of engineering students at the University of Buffalo framed their senior class project around designing new steel-supported, hanging footbridges and shared the designs with Bridging the Gap Africa.
