What will we
IGNITE
at this year’s
ISPA Conference & Expo?
”
It seems the ISPA Conference & Expo has become a
catalyst for giving back. I’m constantly overwhelmed by the stories
that have come from Conferences past about ISPA members coming
together to give back. Take our partnership with the FEED initiative.
With every single bag handed out at Conference, 10 school meals will
be donated to children around the world. That’s over 16,000 meals!
Proof, that when you bring us all together, we can accomplish incredible
things. Thanks ResortSuite!
There’s also last year’s Stand Up 2 Cancer campaign, the outpouring of
support for charity: water, and I can’t help but give props to Michael
Tompkins’ St.ART initiative, a transformative art festival in St. Louis,
Missouri, that will take place next month. The idea and passion for the project
was sparked at Conference and brought ISPA members from all over together
to change the socio-economic conversation in one midwestern city. And it’s
just the beginning...
The kind of impact we can have on the world is astounding! What will we
IGNITE at this year’s ISPA Conference & Expo? How will our
