The Waldron Center
The Waldron family's journey in business planted the seeds for the entrepreneurship and family business center.
The Waldron Center for Entrepreneurship & Family Business was created to focus on entrepreneurial academics and competitions for students and as well as business development for startups and family-owned businesses.
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.
