‘What Can I Do to Help?’


I


One Hundred Twenty Million Members by 2010


The members of IHRSA are great! They’re always looking for ways to help their clients, their communities, and the industry, and, when I speak with them, they often ask me, “What can I do to help IHRSA?” Well, the answer is simple and couldn’t be timelier.


n just two short months, IHRSA will stage its 30th Anniversary International Convention and Trade Show in San Francisco. And, during the coming year, there will not be another place, there will not be another time, when club operators have the opportunity to accomplish so much, in so many ways, for all their related constituencies: their staffs, home towns, industry, and, yes, IHRSA. They will learn, discover,


network, share, enjoy them- selves, and, as a result, engage with the industry more com- pletely, more productively, than ever before. That, believe me, will


produce handsome dividends for everyone—all the way around. If you haven’t already done

so, you really should log on to www.ihrsa.org/meetings today and register for the convention. You’ll be the principal ben-


eficiary, but, by attending, you’ll also contribute, in a variety of telling ways, to all that the industry holds important and dear. San Francisco is a beautiful, exciting, and end-


lessly interesting city, a perfect setting for the event that’s been planned. The list of keynote speakers is world-class, and includes Patrick Lencioni, a best- selling author and management consultant; Daniel Pink, another best-selling business guru; Tony Hsieh, the CEO of Zappos.com; and Phil Keoghan, the host of The Amazing Race. The four are sponsored, respectively, by Precor, Inc., Matrix Fitness, Technogym, and SPRI Products, Inc.


Companies such as these make it possible for


IHRSA to consistently deliver high-quality educa- tional content. The convention also offers scores of seminars,


workshops, focus groups, and other educational sessions that facilitate a two-way flow of informa- tion and insights. One of the fastest-growing components is the


Annual Women’s Leadership Summit, which pro- vides a unique opportunity to network with, and learn from, women leaders from throughout the world. Sponsored by Cybex International, Inc. (NASDAQ: CYBI), this year’s Summit will be hosted by Debra Siena, the president of Proactive Partners, a Division of TCA Holdings, LLC. More than 300 IHRSA associate-member com-


panies will showcase their products and services at the trade show, arguably the oldest and definitely one of the industry’s largest, at the Moscone Center. The suppliers will have a chance to hear about the operators’ needs, and the operators, a chance to learn about suppliers’ solutions. Your presence at the convention adds real value


to the equation, working, in concrete ways, to the advantage of other attendees, presenters, industry providers, and IHRSA. It also allows you to offer your thoughts and suggestions about the associa- tion’s direction, goals, and objectives. Several sessions, including the Tax-Exempt Competition Open Forum and the meeting of the Industry Defense Council (IDC), are specifically designed to solicit your input on the industry’s most critical issues. We want to hear from you. What can you do to help IHRSA fulfill its mission


of growing, protecting, and promoting our industry? Log on to www.ihrsa.org/meetings today. It’s that simple. —|
