Member Database and International Directory

The new and improved International Directory is in the mail and should be arriving at your office shortly. It is intricately linked to our web site so updating the details of each firm in the printed directory will occur concurrently with updates to our website.

We’ve asked each member firm to ensure that all professional staff are included in our database so that Integra can directly send our newsletters and conference information to them. We want to thank the many firms that submitted the information. However, there still remains a gap between the number of professional staff according to our membership statistics (3,619) and our mailing database (817). 

We realize that not all staff in your firm speak English but by them receiving information directly from Integra, they will feel part of the organization. They are the future leaders of your firm and it will benefit the firm in the long run.

If you are the main contact person for your firm, please respond with the names and e-mail addresses of all your professional staff. This can only help your firm experience the power of your Integra membership by engaging your entire staff in whats hapenning at Integra.

Annual May Vancouver Conference

The invitations for the annual May conference were issued several weeks ago and periodic reminders have been issued since. The sender of the invitation and reminders is Renee Dominique. Because she is new to Integra, some e-mail systema are directing her mail into spam folders. If you have not received the invitation please check your spam folder and adjust your settings or contact Renee to resolve the issue.
