We have many members who are unable to make it to conference but still find tremendous value in the year-round resources provided by iSPa. Some name the industry- leading research as the biggest benefit of their iSPa membership; others cite the iSPa Job Bank, Pulse magazine or the membership Directory. no matter what problem you’re trying to solve, iSPa can be your partner in finding a solution. for example: this past week, i found myself on the iSPa website doing research for our General manager. at Blue harbor resort & Spa, we’re currently exploring new product lines to bring in-house, creating a new treatment menu and figuring out a new way to handle our commission structure for 2020. i knew our Gm would need data, trends and ideas for new products, so i turned to iSPa’s membership Directory, consumer Snapshot reports and Snapshot Surveys. after compiling the data, our general manager had everything she needed to thoughtfully complete this project. iSPa truly is a 365-day-a-year resource and we’re eager to help you anytime you need it! the next time you need something related to our industry—research, a job posting, new trends, SoP examples, marketing ideas or just some old fashioned inspiration—visit experienceispa.com first. We’re confident you will find everything you need to help you and if you can’t find what you’re looking for, give us a call and let us know! We’ll figure out how to make it happen. our members’ feedback shapes every benefit we offer. this is your organization—for you, by you. #FYbY #isPa365 ■ novEmbEr/dEcEmbEr 2019 Lynelle Lynch Bellus academy Dawn MacLellan St. andrews country club Kelleye Martin the edgewater Spa Jay Muller technogym Frank Pitsikalis resortSuite Eric Savage freedom Spa, LLc Yvonne Smith La rive Spa at northern Quest resort & casino Michelle Adams Somerville Woodstock inn & resort Eric Stephenson elements massage immediate Past chair todd Shaw isPa President Lynne NcNees international SPa association —garrett mersberger, chairman PULSE Kristine Huffman hutchinson consulting Jessica Timberlake eminence organic Skin care tackle your current challenge. 2 Patrick Huey montage hotels & resorts medical advisor Brent A.
