NESPA inducted its 2019-2020 Board of Directors at the Association’s Annual Membership Meeting held this past September.
During the meeting, the association recognized long-time board members, Jeff McGalliard (Premier Pools & Spas) and Ron Falcioni (Darien Pool) as they rotate off of the board after many years of service. They were thanked for their time, dedication and passion for the industry.
“I look forward to working closely with our Board on developing new ways to serve our growing membership and our industry as a whole,” says newly-elected President Mitch Katz. “Each member of the board brings their unique experience to the work that we do. I’m grateful that I get the chance to lead this team of volunteers as we work to shape the pool and spa industry in the northeast for years to come.”
