Houston Voting WORKS

Election Readiness Workshop with Elizabeth Doty

Get Ready for Election Season with this Workshop for Houston Workplaces

In today’s fast-changing world, workplaces face a range of challenges that can seem overwhelming—political tensions, election concerns, and navigating tough decisions in a polarized environment. But instead of seeing these as obstacles, let's turn them into opportunities for growth and preparation.

Join us on September 4th at the Houston Endowment for a hands-on, action-packed workshop designed to help your organization thrive.

What You’ll Learn

  • Understand Corporate Political Responsibility: what it means to be a responsible corporate player in today’s political landscape

  • Practical Frameworks for Decision-Making: tools to help make well-reasoned decisions that you can stand by

  • Hands-On Practice: More than a lecture - explore real-world scenarios and see how they apply to your workplace

  • Election Toolkit for Houston: Get copy-and-paste communications templates, sample paid-time-off-to-vote policies, and more resources to share with employees

Who Should Attend

Our workshop is perfect for executives, managers and professionals in Human Resources, Communications, Legal, Government Affairs, CSR, Employee Resource Groups, and any employee interested in making informed decisions in today’s complex environment.

Why It’s Important

With election season around the corner, now is the time to ensure your workplace is prepared, not just to react, but to lead with clarity and purpose. Whether you’re facing external pressures or internal debates, having a clear framework will help you navigate these challenges with confidence.
