BluPeak to Close on Election Day, Encouraging Employees and Members to Fulfill Their Civic Duty
San Diego, CA – October 10, 2024 – In a strong commitment to civic engagement, BluPeak has announced that it will close all operations on Tuesday, November 5th, 2024, for the General Election. This move is intended to give BluPeak’s employees the time and flexibility they need to vote, without the constraints of work commitments, while encouraging members and other businesses to prioritize civic responsibility.
BluPeak’s closure on Election Day reflects its dedication to creating a culture that supports the importance of voting and civic participation. This initiative is part of a broader effort by the credit union to lead by example, showing that businesses can play a critical role in encouraging a stronger, more engaged society.
“We believe that voting is one of the most important responsibilities we have as citizens,” said Todd Tharp, CEO of BluPeak. “Our decision to close on Election Day ensures that our employees can take the time to vote without any work-related concerns. We want to make it clear that we stand behind civic engagement and encourage other businesses to join us in supporting their teams in fulfilling this essential duty.”
The 2024 General Election is a pivotal moment for the country, and BluPeak’s decision to close operations is a reflection of the organization’s belief that every voice matters. By making it easier for employees to vote, BluPeak is demonstrating a commitment to both its employees and the democratic process.
