About Speaker Dean Batson

Crafting and nurturing relationships that impact the organizations and community I serve is the core of my passion and efforts. These relationships are my colleagues, staff, vendors, partnerships, stakeholders, students, alumni, friends, and community members.

I am a champion for persuasive communication, efforts you can measure, and communicating stories through compelling anecdotes.

For over two decades, including agency and primary perspectives, I have successfully spearheaded the strategic and tactical identification, planning, development, and implementation of marketing and communication efforts and partnership growth for various organizations. These organizations range from non-profit to corporate and include industries such as higher education, delivery logistics, technology, gaming, auctions, automotive, agriculture, journalism, public relations, and more.

My education includes an undergraduate degree in English, a Master's in Communication 2021, and additional professional development efforts and achievements, that include big data and social physics, online teaching, designing and implementing project-based learning and more.
