Futuristic Industries executive director inspired by helping others
Ray Whitton has only been the executive director of Futuristic Industries in Humboldt since Dec. 3 but has been welcomed by the staff with open arms.
He said it’s a relief, as working for the organization focused on enhancing abilities and creating new skills for people who are intellectually differently-abled was Whitton’s desire for some time.
Before he worked most of his adult life in sales, Whitton attended post-secondary in Saskatoon, hoping to get into the education sector.
“My primary focus was special needs,” Whitton told northeastNOW. “I always hoped there would be an opportunity at some point for aspects of my educational training to come back into play in my professional career.
