A great statement from one of our local businesses. It all starts at the local level.

If anyone knows us well, they know that we take a lot of time to think things through before we act. We’ve spent time observing, processing, and educating ourselves. In this case, admittedly, too much time.

We have watched with disgust and despair the horrible death of a human being named George Floyd, and the rising up of many indignant but peace-loving souls who are crying that enough is enough. We wholeheartedly agree.

Yet, who are we to weigh in? What, as a white person-owned business, can we say that does not sound hollow, or awkward--or worse, self-serving? But to say nothing is a statement in and of itself. Today, we are not so much a business as we are a collection of people who want you to know that we firmly believe in respecting the dignity of every human being. People of color have tragically been denied this respect for far too long. Enough is enough. This is not a political statement, this is essential to our humanity.

One of our company values says this: “We believe in building community through beer by creating connection, building relationships, giving back, and practicing open-hearted hospitality.” Do we always live up to this value? No. Does our industry prioritize diversity and inclusivity? Hardly. Can we do more? Yes. Always, yes. That has never been more clear.

We don’t have all the answers. But what we can tell you in this moment is that we will renew our efforts to live up to the standards we have set for ourselves, and to seek out new opportunities to do so, because if we can live our daily lives with this in mind we can help our society to change, starting at its most basic level.

Right now, our hearts ache for the Floyd family. Our hearts ache for all those (including our own staff, customers, and friends) who are treated unfairly simply because of the way they were born. Our hearts ache for our country, which obviously has a lot of work to do. And the work starts with all of us. Let’s get to it, brothers and sisters.

Simplify Colorado Sales Tax - Join the Movement

The Coalition to Simplify Colorado Sales Tax seeks to support Colorado's economy by simplifying the state's overly complex sales and use tax system, which puts a practically impossible burden on businesses. We support reforms to create a simple, fair and predictable system -- without reducing overall revenue for local and state public services. www.simplifycosalestax.org

We seek to simplify Colorado’s sales and use tax collection system, balancing fairness and predictability for business,revenue neutrality for localities, and the need to foster a competitive economy that will attract employers.

M3 & Associates is excited to sponsor this year's Celebrate Technology event at the Pinery featuring Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple! We've had a long history with CT, going back to it's revival with Hendrik Jordaan and Kara Roberts in 2004 and then in 2005 when our own, Mark Patterson, co-chaired with Jessica Wright. The speaker that year was TJ Rogers from Cypress Semiconductor Corporation. It sounds like it's a sold out event this year. Hope you have your ticket and we hope to see you there!
