In Colorado, 1 in 3 women, 1 in 3 men and 1 in 2 transgender individuals will experience an attempted or completed sexual assault in their lifetime. During April, we recognize Sexual Assault Awareness Month with the hopes of increasing conversations about this very important issue.

Spectra Logic was founded in Boulder in 1979 by Nathan Thompson, who serves as the company’s chief executive. The company designs, develops and produces computer data-storage hardware, and has products installed in 72 countries. Spectra Logic is one of Boulder’s largest employers with more than 450 employees and plans to continue growing over the next several years.

To receive a rebate, companies must meet social, community and environmental sustainability guidelines.

The company extensively volunteers time and money for local organizations including the Emergency Family Assistance Association and Habitat for Humanity, is a member of Partners for a Clean Environment, supports diversity in the workforce, and pays an above average wage to its full-time employees.
