People’s interests in this profession tend to be geared towards vehicle and equipment technical information and data. As you can imagine finding keynote speakers to join us and share relatable topics isn’t always easy. We were fortunate to have had Daren LaCroix speak to our group as our opening session keynote speaker. His message about “sharing your story” was a very relatable topic that carried through the entire conference. The audience appreciated his story of perseverance and dedication to his craft and he delivered it with humor and sincerity. He engaged with the audience and kept our attention for the entire presentation. As chairman of this year’s conference, I highly recommend Darren LaCroix for your next event.
