BBA Luncheon featuring Secretary of State Wes Allen

Description

On Thursday, Aug. 14 from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., we invite you to join us for a BBA Luncheon at The Club and hear from Alabama Secretary of State of State Wes Allen.

Wes Allen was sworn in as Alabama’s 54th Secretary of State on January 16, 2023. A lifelong Republican, he served as Pike County’s Probate Judge for nearly a decade before being elected to serve District 89 in the Alabama House of Representatives. As Alabama’s Chief Elections Official, Wes works closely with local officials across the state to ensure that Alabama’s elections remain the most secure in the nation. 

Since taking Office, he has championed legislative action that both strengthened the security of Alabama elections and reduced government red tape for business owners and candidates alike. Major wins of his legislative agendas include banning internet connectivity for election tabulators, requiring the use of paper ballots in all Alabama elections, outlawing absentee ballot harvesting and ranked choice voting and expanding the Alabama crimes of moral turpitude law. Wes also supported legislation that removed burdensome red tape and fees for Alabama business owners and unnecessary reporting requirements for municipal candidates.

BBA Luncheons provide networking opportunities for our region's business community to engage in conversations that matter, make great connections with other business leaders and shape our region's thriving future.
