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.

Byron’s analysis of dynamic policy and economic shifts, especially in periods of rapid change, are not only clear and highly relevant, but are always shared in a meaningful larger historical context.
