Mr. Bennett, Arizona’s Secretary of State since 2009, explained how HR professionals can make their voices heard.  At the meeting, Mr. Bennett spoke about “a day in the life” of an elected official, and shared his experience on how individuals can effectively inform and persuade elected officials as they prepare to make their important legislative decisions.  The key message was that individuals can make a positive difference, through their votes and their voices.
