Bold: HIROC’s 2018 Year in Review

In the past year, HIROC‘s mission was to be bolder than ever before. In our 2018 Year in Review, this theme runs deep.

Released on April 29, our 2018 Year in Review profiles the path HIROC and its subscribers took over the course of the year. “The past year was quite an interesting one,” said HIROC’s CEO Catherine Gaulton (page 2). “One constant for each of us, has been the focus we maintain on safety.”
