Today we celebrate International Day of Education, a day proclaimed by the United Nations to recognize the role of education in global peace and sustainable development. We believe access to quality education is a core human right, and we celebrate the transformative power it has in providing greater opportunities for at-risk children and youth worldwide. By supporting the educational advancement of our associates, donating resources to charitable causes dedicated to education, and volunteering our time to advance student opportunities, we promote equal access to quality education for all people. As a global community, we must continue to prioritize and invest in inclusive and equitable quality education so that we may achieve gender equality, break cycles of poverty, and create sustainable and resilient societies.
We’re excited to welcome our 2023 India interns to the team!

Let’s put our best foot forward and accomplish new milestones together!
This holiday season, the Denver, Phoenix, and Pittsburgh chapters of Broadridge’s Women’s Leadership Forum (WLF) organized a canned food drive to close out the year. Thanks to the overwhelming support of associates, these local chapters were able to have a significant impact in their communities. Together, associates raised more than $4,000, including the Broadridge match, and donated over 1,500 pounds of canned goods to local organizations. Building on these acts of kindness, the groups also hosted a coat drive that resulted in 40 coats and many hats, gloves, and scarves being donated to a local Pittsburgh charity and 30 Angel Tree packages being donated to local children. Many thanks to these teams and their efforts to make a difference in our local communities—their giving spirit is an example for us all!
We’re proud to partner with Virtual Enterprises International to mentor high school seniors from West Side High School in Newark. On their day in the office, the students heard from Iris Blanc, VEI’s founder, about her mission and vision when starting the non-profit 26 years ago and how that has come to life. They also partnered with our team members, including the Career Foundations Program trainees, for guidance on class projects, college, and future careers. We look forward to providing ongoing mentorship to this future generation of young leaders.

Giving back to the communities where we live and work has always been a central part of Broadridge’s strong culture. As part of this commitment, we are pleased to announce that Broadridge has donated $150,000 to The Viscardi Center to support the PROSPER (People Reaching for Opportunities to Succeed Personally, which helps provide at-risk students with a better chance for academic and employment success. The goal of the program is to provide support for students to make better life choices, build self-confidence, complete high school, pursue college or vocational training, and enter the workforce in a meaningful job that can lead to a long-term career.
Today, we observe Veterans Day in the United States. It is an important time to pay tribute and show our appreciation to all those who have answered the call of duty and who have served our country with courage and distinction. Many Broadridge associates or their family members are veterans—and we stand by them proudly. Today, and every day, it is important to reflect on the contributions and sacrifices of all those who have served and who serve today, including the veterans and active duty and reserve military personnel in our Broadridge family. Please take the opportunity today to thank the veterans in your life and in your community for their dedication and service. We wish everyone a meaningful Veterans Day.
