It is for this reason that through Vitusa Corp, I became a member of the American Dairy Institute and the U.S. Dairy Export Council.

I think it is my duty as the President of Vitusa to help create a synergy amongst my team so I can effectively lead them in the future.”

The University of Miami has been ranked as the 54^th best undergraduate program in the nation by BusinessWeek, and the having 16^th best business program in the nation by The Wall Street Journal. It is no wonder Denny Herzberg has a great respect for his former school and learned so much there. “I am very pleased that I received my degree from the University of Miami. I chose the school because of their high rankings and recognition in the business field. I always wanted to go to a smaller school so I could build meaningful relationships with the faculty, and so I could receive more one-on-one attention. I think I owe a lot of my success to the education I received while at the institution. The faculty had an innovative way of teaching business techniques, many of which I still utilize today,” Herzberg says.

It was his time at the University that inspired Denny Herzberg to institute new team-building exercises at Vitusa. “While I was in college at The University of Miami,” Denny Herzberg says, “my mentors stressed the importance of team building exercises.

I think it helps create good work ethic and positive character traits in volunteers. I have met so many lifelong friends while working at the Belleayre Music Conservatory and at the Rotary Club. Sometimes I think that I don’t have time to serve on top of my work schedule; however, I realized that through time management I can always find areas in my schedule when I can serve,” Herzberg says.

“I think we have to give back with gratitude what we took in. As a European Immigrant to the Dominican Republic, it meant survival and escape from the horrors of Europe during WWII, therefore, I now do what I can not only in the United States but also in the Dominican Republic, country which gave my parents and I a new life,” Denny Herzberg continued.

Denny Herzberg is perhaps most proud of serving on the board of directors for the Belleayre Music Conservatory, based in Highmount, New York. Denny Herzberg sees the Belleayre Music Conservatory as perhaps one of the greatest boons to the Catskills area, dedicated to promoting cultural programs that support Belleayre Mountain as a vital resource.

“Back in 1990, the State of New York threatened to close the Belleayre Mountain Ski Center.

The center has been a huge part of our community, and I did not want to see it close. A bunch of us gathered together to raise the funds to keep the center open. Now, the conservatory offers annual events that have become part of our culture here. The Catskill Forest Preserve is such a beautiful area and I am happy I can help preserve it so more people can continue to experience it,” Danny Herzberg says.

Perhaps the Belleayre Music Conservatory's biggest even is a summer music festival. The music festival helps raise funds to keep the Bellayre Center open. “I am thrilled that I can be a part of the Belleayre Music Festival. This concert series has become a huge event in our area that many people look forward to. Not only does it provide entertainment, but it also provides the conservatory with the funds to continue their mission.”
