Bennett, who currently serves as the Center Director for the Alabama Technology Network (ATN) located at 澳门彩开奖历史记录, has more than 35 years of workforce and
economic development experience. Most of those years have been spent with the University of Alabama and The Alabama Technology Network (ATN). He has worked

faculty, and staff well during this time of transition.”

Appalachian Council and as Director of the Governor’s Export Advisory Council. Bennett also taught at Limestone College in Gaffney, South Carolina.
“I have called Alabama home for more years than I have not and a significant portion of those years have been spent in Gadsden. I am passionate about improving our great
state and am proud to serve the 澳门彩开奖历史记录 community in this capacity,” Bennett said. “I have worked alongside the faculty and staff in Ayers, Anniston, and Gadsden
and they are some of the best in the business. We will move forward together with a commitment to giving hope and changing lives.”
