Background
Mari White with one of Integra's star athletes, Cheri BlauwetMari White decided to build on her private law practice where she represented management in employment discrimination matters, and her post as Administrative Law Judge of Wisconsin's Commerce Department, to start Integra Sports.
Part of the inspiration for Integra Sports evolved from Ms. White's legal work, and part evolved as a result of the experiences she encounters in raising the youngest of her four children, who has had to adapt to significant developmental and learning differences.
Inspiration for Integra Sports also stemmed from Ms. White's own determination to control, through running, what used to be a debilitating case of asthma. Starting at the age of sixteen and unable to run any distance, she is the 2000 and 2002 Maine Marathon Masters Winner and the 2001 Madison Marathon Masters Winner.
Ms. White is admitted to the bars of both Maine (1987) and Massachusetts (1985).
