The Access and Eligibility Services Leadership Conference is an immersive, three-day event that will provide vision, inspiration, and actionable training designed to increase leadership effectiveness. The conference will focus on connecting AES leaders to our mission by reaffirming agency values and defining our collective purpose.
This year’s conference theme, “Next Level Leadership: The Power of Us” encourages leaders to have a growth mindset and be intentional about their own development, so they can better serve and develop those around them.
Since 2020, Matt has served as a Communications Specialist on the Internal Communications team, doing “jack of all trades" work” that includes everything from writing and editing to coming up with silly skits and activities for SEES to do at State Office Staff Meetings, being the resident audio-visual technician, co-leading the State Office Staff Meetings Committee, and serving as “The Voice of AES” at the Leadership Conference. You never know what you’ll be needed for next when you’re on the SEES team!
Born and raised in southeast Missouri, Matt made his way to Texas after spending time in Phoenix, Los Angeles, and South Carolina. He holds an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of South Carolina and a BA in English from the University of Missouri.
