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. An executive at Mission Pharmacal and its subsidiary Alamo Pharma Services, Terrell (Terry) Herring spoke on leveraging partnerships to achieve success and growth at the 2015 Global Alliance Summit of the Association of Strategic Alliance Professionals. Alongside his career in the pharmaceutical industry, Terrell Herring supports a variety of charitable causes including the March of Dimes. Founded to help babies born prematurely, the March of Dimes raises funds to provide crucial care and treatment for infants in the neonatal intensive care unit. March of Dimes relies on dedicated volunteers to raise the money to help these infants and their families. In order to assist volunteers in fundraising and spreading the word about this important cause, the March of Dimes offers a diverse range of materials on its website, including printable posters and business cards. Through the site, you can also send free e-cards, find social media memes and blog widgets, and download the March of Dimes app to help you share your progress and contact possible donors.

Headquartered in Bowling Green, Ohio, Bridging the Gap Africa (BtGA) is a non-profit organization that helps rural communities in Kenya build footbridges to prevent drowning and provide safe access to work, school, and healthcare. Founded in 1997 by Harmon Parker, who was named a Top 10 CNN Hero in 2010, BtGA has since constructed more than 46 footbridges in rural Kenya. These footbridges have provided more than one million safe crossings over 15 years, transforming the lives of community residents and paving the way for a better future through access to education and economic opportunity. According to its website, BtGA provides technical and financial assistance for bridge construction and helps community leaders in organize local volunteers to gather sand and rock for bridge footings. BtGA commissions bridges at project completion and hosts celebrations to recognize the community’s achievement. Earlier this year, BtGA announced a ground-breaking footbridge to be known as Kakenya’s Crossing. More than $42,000 in funding for the bridge was raised in 2016 through charitable contributions.

As a successful businessman, Terrell “Terry” Herring has also served as a board member of several organizations, including the board of directors for Bridging the Gap Africa. Bridging the Gap Africa is an organization that helps to build secure and safe footbridges in Africa to help communities with safer river and canyon crossings. The footbridges help children to safely reach schools, as well as provide safe access to healthcare in local communities and help to prevent deaths from accidental drownings as well as attacks from crocodiles and hippos. Bridging the Gap Africa began with its first bridge in Kenya in 1997. Since that time, the organization has been responsible for building more than 46 footbridges in Kenya. Bridging the Gap Africa is a nonprofit organization that operates from the donations of individuals and companies. Based in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, Terrell (“Terry”) Herring guides a number of pharmaceutical industry-focused enterprises within the Mission Family of Companies. Terrell Herring maintains a strong community focus and has long contributed to the fundraising efforts of March for Babies and the March of Dimes. One of the current efforts of the latter nonprofit, which has focused on pregnancy and infant health for generations, is on improving the United States’ track record in preterm birth prevention. While the rates of premature births have decreased over the past decade, this has not extended equally across the country, and residents of “high population/high-burden” areas still experience double-digit levels of preterm birth. The current campaign aims to reduce the rate of preterm births, which stand as a leading cause of infant mortality and lifelong disabilities, to 5.5 percent by 2030. If successful, it will effectively spare 1.3 million babies the health problems associated with premature birth and reduce associated medical cost burdens in ways that benefit society. An experienced pharmaceutical professional, Terrell “Terry” Herring currently serves duel positions as president of commercial operations for San Antonio-based Mission Pharmacal Company, and president of Alamo Pharma Services in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. In addition to his own personal charitable efforts, Terrell Herring supports Mission Pharmacal’s partnership with the March of Dimes, a charitable relationship that means a great deal to company employee Amber Imboden. A member of the Mission specialty sales team who participated in her first March for Babies event shortly before giving birth to her own premature infant, Ms. Imboden is currently the mother of a healthy toddler. She continues to support the March of Dimes and its March for Babies initiative. Beginning in 1971 under the name Walk America, March for Babies has become the March of Dimes’ most profitable fundraising event. By collecting sponsors, participants in each March for Babies' event fund research efforts in the field of premature birth and support the families of premature babies in newborn intensive care. Comprised of as few as two people and as many as 2,000, March for Babies’ walking teams represent a wide range of clubs, companies, schools, associations, and families.

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.

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.

For 15 years, Bridging the Gap Africa has initiated projects in Kenyan communities where dangerous rivers stand as a barrier between people and necessary services like heath care and schools. Communities in need of a footbridge to cross a dangerous river can reach out to the organization, which involves local resources in completing the project. The nonprofit’s eight-person board includes an industrial quality control specialist, a small business owner, and a counselor. The organization also has a seven-person technical advisory committee made up of engineers and a film producer. |
