Herron served as the Roger Sherman Elementary School PTA Board of Education representative for the past two years, as well as its PTA president for the 2010-11 school year. She has also worked as a community representative on Board of Education task forces, including the task force on redistricting in 2009, and the parent focus group for the prekindergarten through second grade math curriculum last year.

Professionally, Herron has worked as a research executive for the Fairfield-based Millward Brown global research agency, and its parent company WPP. She and her husband Liam have lived in Fairfield since 2002 and have three children in the Fairfield Public Schools system.

Four of the nine seats on the Board of Education are up for re-election in November. Because of the town’s minority party representation rules, two will go to Democrats and two to Republicans. Democrats Sue Brand and Perry Liu and Republicans Pamela Iacono and Tim Kery are the board members whose terms expire in November.

Both major political parties are scheduled to nominate their candidates in this fall’s municipal elections in July. Herron has entered her name to be considered for the Republican ticket at the party’s nomination caucus on July 23.
