FOR 35 YEARS , ISPA ’ S STRENGTH has come from its members — dedicated leaders who selflessly step forward to share their expertise and give their time to elevate the entire spa industry . We are truly blessed that within our volunteer-driven organization , it is our members who power every initiative , program and success story because they believe in the value of giving back .

From the all-volunteer ISPA Board , which consistently attracts the right new directors at the right time to meet specific challenges , to the dedicated ISPAmbassadors who foster connections and mentorship , volunteers shape every aspect of the organization . Resource Partner Task Force members freely give their time to ensure industry trends , technology and innovations remain at the forefront . Even the Expo Awards judges at our annual Conference volunteer their time to celebrate excellence in the field . We could go on and on ….

Every effort — large or small — makes a difference . To those who already volunteer , thank you for your commitment . And for those considering ways to get involved , now is the perfect time to start . Opportunities exist to contribute in meaningful ways , whether by elevating your leadership , sharing your expertise or simply lending a hand where needed .

P . S . While our valued volunteers define the “ what ” of ISPA ’ s initiatives , I am beyond grateful for the uber-talented ISPA headquarters team I get to work with every day who help determine the “ how ” around every exciting project — translating vision into action and ensuring volunteers can bring ideas to life in meaningful ways .
