“The annual meeting is really for our members. We have over 800 members ranging from mom and pop shops to multi-national corporations,” ADP President Chad Newell said. “And so the annual meeting is a chance to kind of recap the year, usher in a new board of directors, new leadership. And then also we always bring in a really cool leadership speaker.”
