The company’s employees and leaders are actively engaged in LGBTQ advocacy. This includes sponsoring and marching in local Pride Parades and participating in GLOBE (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgendered Organization Benefiting Everyone), the first of the company’s nine employee resource groups. GLOBE, which was founded in 1996, champions the growth and development of its members by providing the company with a center of expertise for LGBTQ awareness, networking and business practices.
