Raise the Stakes! Returning as
auctioneer, Lawrence Biscontini got attendees
tangled in a friendly bidding war at this year’s
ISPA Foundation Live & Silent Auctions as he
motivated them during the Live Auction to outbid
peers for a chance to win exciting products, oneof-a-kind collectibles and Great Escapes, all
generously donated by the ISPA community.
LIVING EARTH CRAFTS:
#ISPA2016 auction is
getting very
interesting!
Runway Report. Daily lunches at this year’s ISPA
Conference featured mini fashion shows so attendees had the
chance to preview the latest collections from sponsors while
sharing a lovely meal with industry friends and peers.
Future Leaders. ISPA Foundation Chairman Frank
Pitsikalis gave the spa community an update on how their
support to the Foundation is helping to create meaningful
initiatives for the industry, including research and scholarship
grants to future leaders like this year’s ISPA Foundation Mary
Tabacchi Scholarship recipients Kelsey Brink and Margot
Mangiarotti. Professor Mary Tabacchi was on stage to help
recognize both deserving award recipients.
