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.

“But my experiences in HOSA – as well as the knowledge and insights gained and memories and connections made – were only possible because of the dedicated mission-driven work and genuine passion exemplified by the team at Corporate Education Resources, Inc. (CERI).”

From our work with Walmart and the Cleveland Clinic to HOSA, JAG, Arkansas Leadership Academy, Key Club, and other educational non-profits, CERI draws on a variety of experience and resources to develop customized training programs, and conducts train-the-trainer sessions for those delivering the customized programs.

LDI/CERI founders use a quote by Zig Ziglar, a well-known motivational speaker who knew LDI/CERI well, to serve as the major tenet of the corporate philosophy in serving our clients:

“You can have everything in life you want if you will just help other people get what they want!”
