Thank You for Participating in Democracy & A Reflection on Resilience

We want to take a moment to thank everyone who exercised their civic duty by participating in this week’s election. Your engagement in the democratic process, regardless of your political views, demonstrates our community’s commitment to active citizenship.

I’d like to share an insightful article titled “Emotional Stunt” by Robert Glazer that offers valuable perspectives on resilience and professional responsibility in challenging times. The piece explores how we can maintain our commitments and continue to grow, even when faced with outcomes that may not align with our hopes or expectations.

The article’s core message resonates strongly with our organizational values: the importance of showing up, focusing on what we can control, and building bridges across differences. I encourage you to read it and reflect on this quote from the piece:

“There will be millions of Americans who will want nothing more than to take a day off when the election results are sealed. However, those same Americans will instead get up, go to work and push through their disappointment or devastation. They’ll do this because there are people counting on them to show up.”

As we move forward, let’s continue to support one another while maintaining our commitment to excellence and professional growth. Our strength as an organization comes from our ability to work together effectively, regardless of external circumstances.

Thank you for your continued dedication to our mission and each other.
