Dr. Ray Perryman is President and CEO of The Perryman Group, an economic research and analysis firm based in Waco, Texas.
Dr. Perryman has received citations from governments around the world, presidents, governors, Congress, and national and state administrative and legislative bodies, and has been nominated for the Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel (Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics). He has received far more citations from the Texas Department of Public Safety.
Some of his most gratifying work has been in the field of economic development, where he has played a key role in the creation of hundreds of thousands of jobs. He is pleased that, at long last, some of his kids actually hold some of those jobs. He is a past recipient of the Outstanding Texas Leader Award and has been honored by the Texas Legislature for his “tireless efforts in helping to build a better Texas.” Most recently, Dr. Perryman has been selected as the 2012 “Texan of the Year” by the Texas Legislative Conference, received the 2013 Baylor University Distinguished Service Medal, and was inducted into the Texas Leadership Hall of Fame in 2014. He is also an honorary Kilgore Rangerette, but his high kick leaves a lot to be desired, so he is not yet on the traveling squad (but there is always next year)!!
