ISPA FOUNDATION FOCUS
SEEKING SPA SUPERSTARS
Alone we are seemingly lost in our worlds — a lonely planet . Together , we become a galaxy — a universe — as we pan out , all connected , thriving off energy and information we all share that binds us .
OUR BUSINESS PROCESSES , our data , our research — just as one spa ’ s data is not the whole story , one planet doesn ’ t define a universe . We need every planet to contribute its resources and information for us to make sense of our world , our universe and our galaxy we call Spa .
Nothing excites me more than what ’ s possible for us to achieve with the Foundation because I know what it will mean for how we move as spas , as groups and as an industry . All our potential relies on us : Nobody will do it for us , we are responsible for what is next . The future of our industry is in your hands not only daily as operators and resource partners , but truly painting the cosmic canvas of possibilities . n
