HERS (Higher Education Resource Services) is an educational non-profit providing leadership and management development for women in higher education administration. Since 1972 HERS has served the higher education community through the preparation of more than 3,000 women leaders attending HERS Institutes and participating in a variety of HERS Activities. Today HERS Alumnae across the United States, as well as in Canada, South Africa and other nations, are in positions of leadership at all levels--including most senior positions.
Our sister program, HERS-SA, provides an annual academy for women from across Africa. We are particularly proud that Her Excellency Naledi Pandor, South Africa's Minister of Education, is a HERS alumna. A special HERS Archives project has allowed us to collect material about these programs and other information about the status of professional women in higher education. Through other HERS Connections, we continue to work with other organizations to advance women leaders and support their contributions to achieving excellence and equity throughout our academic institutions.
