Empowering Our Team to Vote: Why We’re Closing for Election Day

At E.B. Howard Consulting, we’re committed to making a positive impact on the communities we serve. Part of that commitment involves giving our team the support they need to engage in civic activities that shape our communities and our country. This Election Day, we’re taking an important step by closing our offices to allow all employees the time and flexibility they need to cast their ballots.

Why Election Day Matters to Us

Voting is one of the most important ways we can influence change and uphold the democratic values we all share. However, busy schedules and work commitments can sometimes make it difficult for people to find the time to vote. By closing our offices on Election Day, we aim to remove one barrier and make it easier for our team to exercise this fundamental right.

Our Commitment to Civic Engagement

Our mission goes beyond providing expert services to our clients; we also strive to empower our employees and community members to be active, engaged citizens. This year, we’re encouraging everyone on our team to take the time to head to their polling places, learn about the issues on the ballot, and make an informed choice. We believe this not only strengthens our democracy but also enriches our organization, as our team brings back the insights and experiences they gain from participating in civic life.

Encouraging a Culture of Participation

At E.B. Howard Consulting, we value the voices of our employees and the diversity of perspectives they bring to our work every day. Voting is one of the most powerful ways to make these voices heard beyond our office walls. By providing our team with the opportunity to vote without the stress of balancing work and civic responsibilities, we’re reinforcing our commitment to an inclusive culture where everyone has the chance to participate.

How You Can Join Us

We invite other businesses and organizations to consider offering similar support to their teams on Election Day. Whether it’s closing for the day, offering flexible hours, or simply encouraging employees to make time to vote, any support helps create a culture that values participation in democracy.

As we head into Election Day, we encourage everyone—whether part of our team, our clients, or our community—to make their voices heard. Remember, your vote is your voice. Let’s make it count!
