ISPA FOUNDATION reparations for the ISPA Conference & Expo are well under way, which means it’ s time to start thinking about donating to the ISPA
Foundation Live & Silent Auctions. As managers and leaders, we have a responsibility to create a culture of selflessness and compassion in order to operate efficiently. Participating in charitable giving is a great way to lead by example and ignite the same behavior among your employees.
Over the past 15 years I’ ve enjoyed both donating and participating in the ISPA Foundation Live & Silent Auctions, which have led to some incredible experiences, including a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Dubai. Fostering charitable initiatives continues to enhance my life and my business— and can do the same for yours! Whether you’ re bidding for yourself or treating a loved one, the satisfaction of supporting a worthy cause is always a win.
By donating an item or experience to the Live and Silent Auctions, you’ re creating a unique marketing buzz for your business both before and during ISPA Conference. Most importantly, through charitable giving, you’ re providing support to the spa industry through the important work of the ISPA Foundation, including the development of the new consumer and spa industry research. Thank you for all of your continued support throughout the years! I encourage everyone to help us reach our goal of US $ 125,000 and donate to this year’ s 2017 ISPA Foundation Live & Silent Auctions.
