Not only was Tyler selected as the recipient of this
scholarship; he inspired its very existence. He showed such enthusiasm as a
presenter at the Greater Philadelphia Chapter spring meeting that word got back
to AHE and we decided he had to be a part of EXCHANGE. Succession planning is
and will continue to be a key initiative for AHE over the next few years. We
need bright enthusiastic up-and-comers like Tyler to attend the conference, and
we thank Tork an Essity brand for generously sponsoring this scholarship.
"It’s extremely rewarding to know that my message
resonated at the AHE meeting- I took a risk and tried something different and
it worked. I focus on teaching simple behavioral changes that anyone can
apply to reduce their overall impact. Teaching sustainable behaviors works best
when it’s centered around energy and participation, and if I’m not getting
anything back from the audience, I’m in trouble. The group made it easy- they
were very engaged, had excellent questions and I felt like I was heard.
These are the presentations that stick with me and inspire me to keep going;
and I would love to come back to AHE again in the future!"
