As we come to the close of another year, we at Hera Associates are filled with gratitude for the meaningful work we've accomplished, the incredible clients we've partnered with, and the impact we've been able to drive together. This past year has been one of growth, collaboration, and innovation, and we’re excited to reflect on the progress we’ve made toward building a more equitable and sustainable world.
Our Impact This Year
At Hera Associates, we pride ourselves on delivering transformative solutions that drive measurable social impact. This year, we’ve partnered with organizations across sectors to address some of the most pressing issues of our time. From supporting climate adaptation efforts to strengthening DEI initiatives, we’ve worked tirelessly to help our clients achieve their missions while creating lasting change.
Key highlights of our impact this year include:
Driving Social Change through DEI Initiatives: Our partnership with Tetra Tech on USAID’s Climate Adaptation Support Activity (CASA) project was a major milestone. Together, we provided technical support to embed diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in climate and environmental workforce efforts, ensuring that diverse voices are centered in global climate action.
Operational Excellence in Human Services: We worked closely with a regional human services client, leading a transformative change management process that shifted their service delivery model to an outcome-based approach. This effort improved program efficiency and increased their primary business line performance by 66% over two years.
Expanding our Reach into Government Contracting: This year also marked continued growth in state and federal contracting, with Hera Associates successfully securing contracts and building relationships with prime contractors. Our commitment to net positivity—ensuring that every project we take on leaves a lasting positive impact—was at the forefront of these efforts.
Leadership Development and Strategic Planning: We helped numerous organizations strengthen their leadership teams and clarify their strategic direction, ensuring that they are well-positioned to meet the challenges of tomorrow.
Key Achievements
In addition to our project work, we achieved several organizational milestones that reflect our growth and our commitment to excellence:
Two-Year Anniversary of Hera Associates: We celebrated the two-year anniversary of Hera Associates, marking a significant chapter in our journey of driving social impact through strategic consulting. From our early days of conceptualizing the business to now partnering with leading organizations and agencies, we are proud of the strides we’ve made.
Growth in Our Client Base: This year saw the expansion of our client base, including new partnerships with nonprofits, mid-size businesses, and international development organizations such as USAID, further broadening our scope of impact.
Building a Stronger Team: Internally, we invested in our team’s growth, bringing on talented subject matter experts and thought leaders who share our passion for making a difference. Their contributions have strengthened our ability to deliver high-quality consulting services.
Looking Ahead
As we reflect on the progress we’ve made, we are also energized by the opportunities that lie ahead. The challenges facing the world today—climate change, social inequity, economic disruption—demand bold action, and we are committed to continuing our work with clients and partners who are tackling these issues head-on.
In the coming year, we plan to expand our efforts in government contracting, deepen our work in social equity and sustainability, and continue to help organizations optimize their operations to maximize their impact.
Thank You to Our Clients and Partners
None of this would have been possible without the trust, collaboration, and shared vision of our incredible clients and partners. We are truly honored to work alongside organizations that are committed to making the world a better place. Your dedication inspires us every day, and we look forward to continuing our work together in the years ahead.
