“I would like to thank the leadership at the Center for Digital
Government for this great honor,” said Harry Herington, NIC’s Chief
Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. “I believe everyone
has a talent or passion that can be used to positively impact the
lives of others in their community. That’s what I expect of myself,
my family, my employees, and my colleagues.”
Throughout his career, Mr. Herington has dedicated his personal
time and resources to a variety of non-profit organizations. In
2009, he founded Ride4Cops to raise money and awareness for the
families of officers killed in the line of duty. He also founded
the Valor Awards, a program in Lawrence, Kansas, honoring the
valiant efforts of first responders, and he established a Law
Enforcement Scholarship at the University of Kansas School of Law,
specifically to help officers injured in the line of duty and
family members of fallen officers.
In addition to supporting law enforcement and first responders
and numerous other local charities, Mr. Herington and his wife
Cindy also founded Christian Dance Studios, a non-profit dance
program for school-age girls. For the past 12 years, this program
has provided a safe and affordable after-school activity for
approximately 150 young ladies each year.
As CEO of NIC Inc., Mr. Herington holds every one of the
Company’s 850 employees responsible for helping improve their
community. Several years ago he worked with employees to establish
the Citizen of the Year award. The Citizen of the Year program
rewards an employee who has gone above and beyond in giving back to
their community with a week-long vacation for two, plus a donation
of $5,000 to their charity of choice.
The 2015 Leadership by Example Award was presented to Mr.
Herington on August 9, 2015 in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho at the Center
for Digital Government’s Industry Summit. This summit provides an
opportunity for government and the industry to recognize its
private sector partners, those companies who work closely with
government to tailor solutions to suit the unique needs of
government.
