Former Mayor Herzberg was born in Milwaukee, WI, the daughter of German immigrants. She has lived in Florida since 1983 and she knows what it’s like to have to meet payroll and grow something with her own hands. As a former small businesswoman for 13 years, she understands the problems facing working families in a country where hard work and talent are no longer enough to secure a piece of the American Dream. She attended public schools and knows how vital our schools are in nurturing the talents of all of our children.
She is an alumna of Daytona State College, has been a member of the William S. Harvey Scholarship Selection Committee, a participant in Destination Deltona Task Force, a volunteer for United Humanitarians, and an advocate for abused, neglected, homeless and unwanted animals. Heidi is also Deltona’s representative to Team Volusia Economic Development Corporation, and a Board Member of many organizations including the River of Lakes Heritage Corridor, Daytona State College Center for Women & Men, and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Volusia & Flagler County. Heidi is a past President of the Volusia League of Cities and a current member of the Florida League of Cities Energy, Environment and Natural Resources Legislative Policy Committee.
