The Independent Pool and Spa Service Association (IPSSA) is offering its members and chapters additional opportunities for recognition in the pool and spa service sector.
In a significant move, IPSSA introduced new awards in 2023, recently unveiling the outstanding winners to be honoured at the annual banquet on February 3, 2024.
The IPSSA Chapter of the Year award will be given to Region 7 San Diego Metro Chapter. Renowned for its dedicated community service, the chapter raised more than $21,000 through auctions and a regional picnic, contributing to causes such as the San Diego Drowning Prevention Foundation, supporting swim schools, aiding a grieving family who lost their home to a fire, and assisting homeless students. Their commitment extends beyond charity, as all members completed water chemistry courses, offered sick route coverage, and actively contributed to membership growth.
Another noteworthy accolade, The Pool Professional of Tomorrow Award, is being given to Aden Dunne of Classic Pools & Spas in Encinitas, California. Raised in the industry, Dunne embodies IPSSA’s core values of community, education, and support. His continuous efforts ensure IPSSA members stay abreast of technological advancements, fostering an environment where education and support thrive.
Rose Smoot, executive director of IPSSA, expressed delight in the overwhelming response to these new awards, anticipating a formal presentation at the upcoming annual Weekend of Inspiration at The Westin Long Beach in California on February 3-4, 2024.
Since its inception in 1988, IPSSA has aimed to provide educational opportunities and business support to its members, with these awards reinforcing their commitment to community, education, and support.
