Dallas, Texas – Ryan, a leading global tax services firm with the largest indirect and property tax practices in North America, today announced that the Firm was among only 46 organizations worldwide to receive the prestigious Association for Talent Development (ATD) BEST Award, presented October 2, 2014 during a ceremony held in Washington, D.C.
