“I?m thrilled to welcome Kerri, Stacey, Kim and Laura to the Mission Point family,” said Bradley McCallum, Mission Point Resort general manager. “To have this talented group join an already strong team, we are well equipped to spread the word about Mission Point as a great destination for groups, families and couples that are looking for an experience like none other in a relaxed, welcoming and unique environment.”
