A Note from Ilana – January 2019

 Happy New Year 2019…. A year of endless possibilities!

As we welcome in 2019 we also celebrate our 10th Anniversary! After 10 evolutionary years of building the FSA I find myself looking at this New Year being filled with so many possibilities. I, without a doubt, reexamined all my New Year’s resolutions, focusing on new opportunities over and over again as they continued to dance in my head. Reflecting on this past year, I am so grateful for all the support from our awe-inspiring spa community and members that have enabled us to follow our vision as it relates to education and endorsing wellness into our spa space. Now it’s a New Year and time is on our side. TIME SAYS YES!! DO IT NOW! Anything is possible!! We believe in trying and as time moves forward, it allows us opportunities to constantly change and be all that we can be. Our New Year’s goal is to make our year an adventure, to look for the invisible, listen to the silences and let our imaginations run wild and bring relevance to our association.

2018 was as fundamental year for the FSA, can we top that??? ABSOLUTELY! We plan to achieve even higher targets in 2019. Our mission remains resolute to support our Florida Spas and provide opportunities for them to flourish. Our objective also includes strategic collaboration with our vendors. Partnerships are vital to the growth of our community and working together delivers results that benefits both our spas and vendors.

With FSA being event driven, our intension is to up the ante and keep our events relevant in 2019 starting with the “Love Spa Wine 2019 “event at the Quantum Leap Winery in Orlando on January 22nd. We return to this unique venue to fire up an event that proved to be prolific, educational and extremely entertaining last year! This year we plan to accelerate our education platform “The Source” which was launched last spring and boost our position as the leading platform in Florida for connecting our community, as we are bring culture to our milieu. Our events in 2019 will provide relevance to our association as we continue to focus on education, wellness and offer thriving opportunities by linking our spas and vendor members. Continued communication is on the agenda to keep our members and Florida spas updated and connected. And there is so much more in the works.

We are enthusiastic about moving forward into 2019 and as the saying goes “keep moving forward and only look back to see how far you have come”

It’s with so much gratitude for all the support that our friends have shown in 2018. The FSA family has grown because of you. Your belief is an inspiration to us – and our commitment to you is to provide our very best and live up to our promise!

Happy New Year!
