CWI Hires New VP for Human Resources

Published: March 15, 2021

President Bert Glandon announced Ryan Herring has been chosen as the incoming Vice President for Human Resources for the College of Western Idaho (CWI).

“We are so fortunate to have Ryan for his expertise in the many intricate nuances of today’s complex world of human resources,” said Glandon. “He leads by example and embodies the CWI spirit in all he does.

Herring has been serving as the Executive Director of Human Resources and has worked at the College since 2014. He graduated from the University of Idaho in 2005 with a Bachelor of Science in Business Management and Human Resources and worked for Simplot, Xerox, and The Adecco Group before joining CWI. Herring has a background in workforce management and development, Title IX, and is certified as a Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHR) from the Human Resource Certification Institute and has a Strategic Workforce Planning Certification from the Human Capital Institute.

“I am thrilled,” said Herring. “CWI is such an amazing institution, and to have the opportunity to continue our work here in the support of our faculty, staff, and students, there is simply nothing better for me!”

Herring is filling the role following Lillian Talley's retirement in December, and he will assume his new position beginning March 15.
