“ The challenge of leadership is to be strong , but not rude ; be kind , but not weak ; be b�d , but not a bully ; be thoughtful , but not lazy ; be humble , but not timid ; be proud , but not arrogant ; have humor , but without f�ly .”

AS WE EMBARK ON OUR “ DREAM BIG ” YEAR , I ’ m beyond grateful to have had the honor to learn from truly inspiring leaders . That list of trailblazers began with Jane Segerberg ( the first female to serve as Chair ), who patiently helped to mold and define a young industry , and now numbers more than a dozen ISPA Chairs including Patrick Huey and most recently Kelleye Martin , who continue to shape spa ’ s rapid evolution .
What would ISPA be today if not for all our tremendous volunteers who step up to serve ? I feel confident we wouldn ’ t be the ISPA we all have come to rely on in good times and bad . If you ’ re unsure of the impact : Watch the thank you video Boldijarre and Eminence shared on day one of the ISPA Conference . ( Scan the QR code to watch !) That was a WOW and , honestly , made your HQ Team a bit tired . ♥♥
Kelleye asked , If 10 percent of Conference attendees volunteered in some capacity , imagine what we could accomplish . Please step forward — there are countless ways to get involved and we need you . As keynote speaker Suneel Gupta shared : “ Take action and courage will catch up along the way . Don ’ t wait for courage to take action .”
Thank you for making ISPA … ISPA . ♥
