It is a very exciting time to be the Executive Director of ISPA! There are so many incredible projects in the works, if I did not have a PDA I would lose track of all the projects we have in development. In addition to the Credentialed Professionals only website, we are EXPANDING our Accreditation scope to include top notch Organizations and Charities. Andrew Teunis (Director of Business Development) and Erik Nagy (International Business Consultant) have been making powerful contacts with some of the Worlds most prominent organizations. These contacts will bring even more visibility to the ISPA credential.
I am so proud to be part of an organization that is constantly moving forward, however, always remaining firmly rooted in the ethical principles that the organization was founded on. Keep checking the ISPA website for more information on all these exciting enhancements.
Yours in Sport,

Many professionals are desperate to find outlets for their publishing needs. I hope you remember that the ISPA has a publishing division that can serve as such an outlet. Whether it is a book or monograph or a CEU course, consider publishing with ISPA/NP2 Publishing and reach a global audience. Details are provided inside the web site.

Hello:
I am very excited by the new CEU course ISPA has up on our web site (www.TheSportsProfessionals.com). It is on office procedures for first aid–CPR–medical emergencies. Not only is this course common sense to have for ANYONE’s office, but insurance premiums, accreditation bodies, and other overseers may be satisfied to know you and your staff have taken this course.
The author of the course, Jamie Kirschner received her BSN from Winona State University. While there she did an extensive clerkship at the Mayo Clinic. Currently she is employed as a staff nurse at the University of Chicago Medical Center on an Oncology and Hematology unit. She has six years of experience as a healthcare professional and has been certified in CPR and First Aid throughout the duration of her professional career. Ms. Kirschner has presented at the Annual Conference of Qualitative Inquiry. That research is being prepared for inclusion in a scientific journal. She has also developed educational tools for nursing while at the Mayo Clinic.
Please look into this course very seriously for your benefit and the benefit of those you serve.
Dr. John E. Mayer, President

An idea that we have found very helpful is to suggest that you use your Education Benefits that your employer gives you toward your ISPA credentialing fees. This has been a great idea for many because of the simple math involved. Many companies set aside a small figure in their benefits package for Education, let’s say $200.00. Have you tried to sign up for a graduate course for $200.00? A conference fee? Buy books? Videotapes? But, ISPA credentialing starts at $195.00. Voila!
A presentation you attend is temporary, the investment in your career credentials is longstanding. Think about it.

We had a great meeting at ATI Physical Therapy at their Carol Stream, IL complex! Talk about beautiful – this complex had absolutely EVERYTHING. Weight training, cardiovascular training, gymnastics training, aquatic training, you name it! ISPA management was meeting with Dr. Chris Stout, and his team, once again to discuss some upcoming projects that will hopefully be made public in the next month or two. We are also working on putting our minds together to put together some online video training. Exciting stuff to say the least! More to come ~
