2021 New Year Message From Brian Hunter, Chair

January 2, 2021
Happy New Year!

I am looking forward to a robust, exciting year for Integra International and our members.

Although the pandemic caught all of us by surprise and 2020 was a challenging year, we all learned valuable lessons and supported each other in various ways.

We pivoted to an increased internal social media presence by sharing ideas, issues and solutions. We worked closely with our members to ensure they would be connected to each other for support and guidance.
