A COLOSSAL shoutout to our conference leader for RYLA 2023, Rachel Greene! She has brought extreme enthusiasm, positivity, encouragement, and laughter throughout the conference. We cannot thank her enough for being such a positive figure during our RYLA experience, creating her hilarious slideshows, and all her hard work during this conference.

We express an immense appreciation to the marvelous Matt, the Media Assistant. He brought exhilarating energy to RYLA and never failed to put a smile on our faces. He made everyone feel welcome; Matt's confidence allowed others to have some within themselves. 

We are so thankful for our Program Director, Jonathan, and his hard work behind the scenes. He did a fantastic job coordinating all the activities the conferees participated in during the five days. Jonathan brought a positive attitude to all activities and encouraged each conferee to never feel bad about themselves.
