Meeting Planner for Texas Association of Counties, Austin, TX

"County Officials From All Across Texas Were Standing and Cheering!"

What We Wanted:
A great opening that would enable a great conference.

What We Got:
Tony Brigmon opened the annual Texas Association of Counties annual County Management Institute and our conference will never be the same.

By the end of his presentation our county officials from all across Texas were standing and cheering. The quick start did much more than just open the meetings, it set the pace. At the close of our meetings the next day our participants were still buzzing.

We want him back!

Meeting Planner for Alzheimer's Association, Cincinnati, OH

"Just The Right Program At the Right Time!"

What We Wanted:
The Professional Staff Organization of the Alzheimer's Association has not traditionally had a speaker for its Annual Breakfast Meeting. Our previous focus has been business issues and the very serious challenges we face every day in programming for persons with Alzheimer's disease and their families.

This year we wanted to honor our members for their commitment, acknowledge the pressure we have been under and arrange a program that would be energizing and fun for everyone.

What We Got:
Tony Brigmon was exactly what we needed we laughed together, tapped our feet together and concluded with double-handshakes and hugs. It was just the right program at the right time and we liked it so much that we have asked Tony to return next year for our 4th Annual Breakfast. Thank you, Tony!

Meeting Planner for CASE International, Las Vegas, NV

"Not Since Hyrum Smith, CEO of Franklin-Covey, Have We Had Such An Engaging, Entertaining, And Educational Speaker!"

What We Wanted:
CASE is an international association of education advancement officers, who include alumni administrators, fundraisers, public relations managers, publication editors, and government relations officers.

CASE's membership includes more than 2,900 colleges, universities, and independent elementary and secondary schools in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and 27 other countries. This makes CASE the largest nonprofit education association in terms of institutional membership. We serve some 28,000 advancement professionals on the staffs of our member institutions and have 14,250 member representatives on our roster.

The Keynote presenter sets the tone for the conference. Our goals for this conference were "FEMM" -- Fun, Educational, Make Money. Tony embodied the first two of those goals (and was a comparative bargain against speakers that we've had in the past).

What We Got:
I would whole-heartedly endorse Tony Brigmon as a speaker for any group, anywhere, anytime! This was one of the most talked about speakers in the past three years. Not since Hyrum Smith, CEO of Franklin-Covey, have we had such an engaging, entertaining, and educational speaker. Tony was outstanding!
