What they're saying

Byron's insights into market trends and economic forecasting were not only informative but also tailored specifically to the challenges and opportunities facing confectionery businesses today.

Michael Caughlan, President/CEO at McKeany-Flavell Company, Inc.

Byron's insights don’t just make the material understandable—they empower credit union leaders with the knowledge to make strategic decisions that drive their organizations forward. A truly fantastic speaker.

Tony Ferris, CEO of Rochdale

Byron's presentation of economic concepts is simple enough for the layperson to understand but not so simple that it ignores the nuances required of a comprehensive economic outlook. I would highly recommend him as a speaker.

Bernadette Austin, CEO CivicWell; SAFE Credit Union Board of Directors
