focus on the foundation International SPA Association Foundation PHOTO © MARK ASHLEY PHOTOGRAPHY I t’s hard to believe 2011 is already here. It seems like just yesterday, we began planning for the 20th anniversary Conference & Expo. Now, planning for the 2011 ISPA Conference is well underway. This also means another Foundation Live & Silent Auction event is over and planning for the next has begun. However, before we get too far into the next Auction, I’d like to take a minute to look back on the one that just passed. The 20 10 Live & Silent Auctions raised more than $75,000 for the ISPA Foundation. How great is that? The money will help the Foundation continue to provide the industry with valuable resources like the new 2011 ISPA Foundation Board of Directors OFFICERS President Jeff Kohl Precor Inc. Vice President Cathy Cluff Oaks at Ojai Secretary Sharilyn Abbajay Marriott International Treasurer Calvin Martin, CPA, CIC, CRM Calvin Martin & Co., PLLC Financial Management for Spas, to help nurture future industry leaders. I want to thank all those who so generously gave whether it was through the Live or Silent Auction or the raffle. Your generosity helped make the event a success and will go towards advancing the spa industry. Of course, there wouldn’t be an Auction without a sponsor. The Foundation would like to thank Majestic International for its support of this year’s Auction. During the event, ISPA and Gaylord staff members wore robes provided by Majestic International, which added some fun to DIRECTORS Lynne McNees ISPA President Deborah Waldvogel Sedona Resorts Jennifer Wayland-Smith Golden Door Spa at The Boulders Ruth Stricker The Marsh, a Center for Balance and Fitness the evening. With the New Year, comes resolution-making. I ask you to make a resolution to further the spa industry by supporting the ISPA Foundation, whether by purchasing resources like Financial Management for Spas, donating to the Auction or giving monetarily. Let’s make 2011 an even greater success than 2010. —JEFF KOHL, ISPA FOUNDATION PRESIDENT ■ January/February 2011 Dr. Brent Bauer, M.D. Mayo Clinic HONORARY BOARD MEMBER Deborah Szekely Rancho La Puerta Happy New Year! 54 PULSE MEDICAL ADVISOR
