Happy Pride from the Alliance ERG!

Life at LMI

Happy Pride! 
 

Pride Month is a wonderful time to celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community. Coming together as allies and advocates in our workplace and with external partners is a fantastic way to show support.

The Alliance holds a special place in LMI's history as our first employee resource group (ERG). Over the years, it has paved the way for many inclusion efforts. From supporting local LGBTQIA+ community initiatives to organizing educational and engagement opportunities for LMIers, the Alliance has been at the forefront of building a place of belonging at LMI. We've proudly participated in events like DC Capital Pride and the Pikes Peak Pride Parade in Colorado Springs. 

When discussing what the Alliance means to our employees, our members say it best:

  • “I love that the group gives me a place to connect with other LMIers about what’s important to our community and serves as a safe space for us all to have conversations that go beyond surface levels of advocacy. And we have fun!”

  • “I value the sense of community and networking opportunities provided by the Alliance ERG as it allows us to further cultivate an inclusive culture where everyone feels valued and supported. It's rewarding to see the LGBTQIA+ community represented within LMI, actively contributing to our broader DEIA efforts.”

  • “I love that the group has connected me to other LMIers that I would not have connected with in my regular job; I also love helping with the events like Pride parades and volunteer events.”

  • “The Alliance means that I can be a proud member of the LGBTQIA+ community at LMI!”

During Pride Month, we reaffirm our commitment to creating a collaborative environment where all of our innovators thrive. Happy Pride Month!
