It started with a few simple ideas…

• Every vote counts and every voter deserves to be counted
• Employers can play a pivotal role in engaging their employees in Georgia’s elections
• Peer-company sharing of ideas and best practices is powerful
• Employees want to engage and are open to options

…and led to a safer, more secure, efficient and accessible election across the state of Georgia.

All this thanks to Betsy Armentrout, the founder of Georgia Voting Works. It’s one those “the power of one” stories. From a simple idea to persistence to a lot of work and attracting lots and lots others to participate. Hear about:

• How the messy June primary provided inspiration
• Recruiting people and corporations to actively particiapte
• The ideas – and the work to implement them – all came from the participants (…including a few really impressive examples.)
• The key non-partisan role of  the Secretary of State
• What next? (Think education regarding the voting process and how to make your vote count!)

Thank you, Betsy Armentrout, for your service to our community!
