Bob Tryanski has spoken at numerous MASC/MAHS conferences over the years - to our advisers and to our students. Each time he is very well received. His keynotes and his breakout/education sessions always get people thinking a little bit differently. He challenges his audiences to make waves and create opportunities for others. Bob comes highly recommended by the association!

Ryan Porter was the opening speaker at the 2012 MASC/MAHS State Conference. He was incredibly funny, friendly, and sincere. He kept his presentation entertaining with hilarious stories from his life. I am pretty sure Ryan Porter was one of the best speakers I have ever listened to!

After States, I came home and messaged him on facebook, telling him that his presentation was better than most. He replied within a day and said this:

"David, thanks for taking the time to send me a message. I totally appreciate it.

And yes, "had the pleasure of listening to you speak" does sound kind of businessy... In fact, you are cordially invited to cease communicating so formally.
