About Us

In the late 1950s, members of the swimming pool industry in the northeast section of the U.S. banded together to form NESPA to address their collective needs. The organization was incorporated in 1958 and received its 501-C-6 status (Trade Association) from the IRS at that time. From the days of its founding, the organization has been continuously engaged in promoting and protecting its members and educating them and raising their levels of competency in all phases of business activity.

The Northeast Spa & Pool Association (NESPA) supports pool and spa professionals through education, networking, advocacy, and business resources. Our goal is to help members grow, stay informed, and meet the changing needs of the industry. We also provide consumers with reliable pool, spa, and water safety information.

NESPA has been affiliated with the Pool & Hot Tub Alliance (PHTA) for more than 40 years and serves members across five chapters: CONSPA (Connecticut), Long Island, Metro NY/NJ, PennJersey, and PSAWP (Western Pennsylvania). Our membership includes builders, service and maintenance companies, retailers, distributors, manufacturers, manufacturer representatives, and industry subcontractors.

NESPA owns and produces The Pool & Spa Show, one of the industry's leading trade events, bringing together thousands of professionals each year in Atlantic City for education, networking, and business development.

Through NESPA’s Professional Training Institute (PTI), members have access to hands-on and business-focused education covering service, construction, retail, management, and technical skills.
