Our Mission

The Waldron Center supports entrepreneurship & family business through academic engagement, workshops, & outreach to build a community of innovation.

Our Founders 

How a second-generation Tennessee business, Waldron Enterprises, gave rise to the vision for the Waldron Center at Harding University

The Waldron Center is funded by David and Betsy Waldron of Murfressboro, Tennessee. Waldron, a 1976 Harding graduate, returned to a family business after college. His desire to create a resource at the University emphasizing family business and entrepreneurship led to the establishment of the center. David and brothers Charles and Greg operate Waldron Enterprises.
