August President's Message
Dear GIA Members and Friends,
What an incredible month for our association! At our Q3 Membership Meeting, our members came together and unanimously approved our rebranding to the Georgia Integrators Association (GIA). This milestone reflects not just a new name, but a renewed commitment to representing the full scope of our industry and the professionals who are driving it forward. I could not be more excited about the direction we’re headed.I am also honored to share that I will continue serving as President into next year, and I look forward to building on this momentum with each of you. Together, we’ve accomplished so much — and the best is yet to come.
A huge congratulations goes out to our newly elected 2026 Board members. Your leadership, vision, and dedication are key to strengthening GIA, and I'm thrilled to serve alongside you through 2026.
Our association continues to grow, adding more members each month with 106 members as of last week. It’s clear that integrators across Georgia see the value of connecting, learning, and advancing the professionalism of our industry.
Looking ahead, our Fall Summit is right around the corner, and you will not want to miss it! We’ve put together an outstanding educational lineup that will deliver real takeaways you can apply to your business right away. I encourage you to register today and secure your spot — this is going to be an event that raises the bar for all of us.
Thank you for your continued support and commitment to making GIA an incredible association to be a part of. Let’s keep the momentum going!
Sincerely,
Brandon Shepard
GIA President
