As EntreEd continues to evolve in its mission to champion entrepreneurship education, we are announcing a leadership transition that marks an exciting new chapter for our organization.
EntreEd announces that Dr. Toi Hershman has officially stepped down as CEO to pursue a new opportunity. We extend our deep gratitude to Dr. Hershman for her dedicated leadership and service.
During this transition, IGNITE! will serve as EntreEd’s Fiscal and Administrative Manager, with Captain Neferteri Strickland stepping in as Strategic Advisor to the Board—ensuring continuity, operational excellence, and strong partner support.
“At IGNITE!, we’ve lived the challenges nonprofits and Entrepreneur Support Organizations face — so this moment is not just a transition, it’s a transformation. As EntreEd’s Fiscal and Administrative Manager, we’re bringing the same proven tools that have helped over 1,500 organizations stabilize, sustain, and scale. Our focus is clear: strengthen EntreEd’s infrastructure, support the Board, Staff, and Partners, while helping shape a future driven by innovation and impact.” — Torin Darling Brazzle, Founder, CEO and President
The EntreEd Board of Directors and staff remain committed to empowering educators and students nationwide.
EntreEd appreciates your continued support during this exciting phase of transformation.
