September President's Message

Dear GIA Members and Friends,

As we close out the third quarter, I couldn’t be more excited about what’s ahead for our Georgia Integrators Association (GIA). Our upcoming Fall Summit, November 5–6, is shaping up to be one of the best events we’ve ever hosted. From hands-on technical training and business strategy sessions to fun networking opportunities, this Summit truly delivers value for every integrator. If you haven’t registered yet, I encourage you to do so today and plan to bring your team with you!

What excites me most is that we’re not just planning for this year. We have already locked in most of our 2026 events! GIA is growing quickly, both in membership and in influence, and that momentum means more opportunities, more education, and more benefits for our members. The strength of this association comes from the incredible professionals who make up our organization, and I’m proud to see so many new faces joining alongside long-time members who continue to set the bar high.

If you’re not yet a member, now is the perfect time to get involved and join here. GIA is where integrators across Georgia come together to raise standards, gain knowledge, and strengthen our industry as a whole. We are building something powerful, and we want you to be part of it.

I look forward to seeing all of you at the Fall Summit in November!! Space is limited so please be sure to get registered now!

 

Sincerely,
Brandon Shepard
GIA President
