On Monday, September 22, 2025, A2LA cut the ribbon on its second office in Boulder, Colorado!
The Ribbon Cutting Ceremony was hosted by A2LA Quality Manager Jordan Acton and Senior Accreditation Officer Anastasia Miller, both of whom have relocated from the original Frederick, Maryland office to the Boulder location.
They were joined by A2LA Board of Directors Secretary/Treasurer Mike Carter, who is local to the Boulder area, as well as A2LA President and CEO Lonnie Spires, Executive Director of Organizational Excellence Jim Powell, General Manager Adam Gouker, and Director of Marketing Julie Bonebrake. A2LA is also beginning to welcome new employees from the Boulder area to its second office.
A Strategic Expansion
The newly opened office is intended to accommodate A2LA’s growing operations and provide enhanced support for an expanding customer base on the West Coast.
“Opening a location in Boulder demonstrates our commitment to meeting customers where they are,” said Lonnie Spires, President and CEO of A2LA. “As demand for accreditation services continues to grow across the western U.S., this new office allows us to deliver even more responsive service and strengthen our connection with the industries we support.”
Joining the Boulder Community
A2LA names each of its conference rooms after people and places that have had a significant impact on the organization’s history. In keeping with this tradition, the conference room in the Boulder office has been named the Red Rocks Conference Room. The Red Rocks conference room honors the extraordinary beauty of the natural landscape of the organization’s second home, while acknowledging the critical work and exponential growth of the company since its foundation in 1978.
A2LA is proud to be a new member of the Boulder business community and is working to build strong local connections while pursuing its mission to create trust, safety, and quality throughout the world.
