at Annual.”

itself as a leader and shows commitment to innovation. It is obviously great for the companies that
are chosen to participate! I am especially grateful for the relationships we built and the exposure

stand out in understanding our role in elevating HR.” – Andrew Magliozzi co-founder and CEO of Mainstay and participant of the
