Here at Net Impact, we strive to engage and empower Washington University in St. Louis and the business community to drive positive social, environmental, and economic change. We’re a graduate student club that sees an MBA as a conduit for impact. We want to make a difference in our careers across business sectors, industries, and initiatives. Part of this engagement includes non-partisan encouragement to cast a vote this election cycle.

October 12 is the last day to register to vote in Missouri.

As such, we’ve captured some of our members’ voices as they describe their motivation for voting. We spent part of our last general body meeting exploring why someone votes. The activity brought out interesting perspectives, from sense of duty to belief in change, acknowledgement of our country’s past to hopes for our future. A diverse array of voting rationale – which makes sense since this group comes from backgrounds, industries, and ideas that span education to energy, non-profits to Fortune 500, military to marketing.
