Tim Herron, National Director |

![]() |
The Act Six Initiative was developed by Tim Herron, a National Board Certified teacher who spent ten years in Tacoma Public Schools teaching mathematics and advocating for scores of Lincoln High School students as they made the journey to college. In the process, he developed critical relationships with college admissions and financial aid staff around the region as well as with local scholarship providers. Act Six grew out of these relationships and his passion to see students from urban Tacoma thrive in college and use their education and leadership to make a difference in their home communities. As national director, Tim provides guidance and support to a growing network of Act Six affiliates in cities and colleges around the country in addition to his leadership of the Washington initiative. |
