This program provides a vital outlet and forum for people to come together and celebrate the Arts. At ADP, our culture and values are anchored in giving back to the communities where we work and live, which aligns perfectly with the spirit of Arts in the Community,” said Tara Albritton, SVP, NAS, HCM Service at ADP, and member of MPAC’s Board of Trustees.
