Who We Are
Founded in 1976, Leadership Development Institute (LDI) delivered unique 5-day leadership development experiences to high school and college students through LDI Summer Camps across the country for several years. LDI events gained national attention and was requested to adapt its experiential learning activities to meetings, retreats, state conferences, and national conferences for a wide assortment of student and non-profit organizations. LDI rebranded in 1991 as Corporate Education Resources, Inc. (CERI) to deliver a broader range of services to corporate, student, and non-profit clients. Today, CERI provides Association Management, Event Management, Training and Development, and Consultant Services to non-profit organizations, government agencies, student organizations, and corporations.
