CONSULTANTS
Emily Maggard
With over a decade of experience spanning both corporate HR and staffing environments, Emily Maggard has seen firsthand how structure and clear processes transform workplaces. From managing compliance and operations in large-scale corporate settings to supporting small-town retirement communities, she's learned that success isn't about size — it's about systems.
Those two worlds taught her the balance between corporate-level professionalism and community-centered care. Today, through ELM Consulting Group, Emily brings that expertise to small businesses that deserve the same level of organization, compliance, and ease of use that big corporations enjoy — without losing the heart that makes them special.
Raised in Yamhill County and proud Y-C Alumni, Emily's roots run deep in Oregon's small-town spirit. She's been married for ten years and is the proud mom of two energetic boys. When she's not helping businesses thrive, you'll find her tending her garden, camping under the stars, sewing, embroidering, homesteading, fishing with her husband, or chasing laughter with her sons.
