NESPA is excited to name the winners of the 2018 Outstanding Achievement Awards – Builders and Service Competition. The award winners were celebrated at a reception held at The Pool & Spa Show in Atlantic City this past January.  

Thank you to everyone for making the 2019 Pool & Spa Show such a success! We brought together more than 11,000 industry professionals, held over 100 training sessions and showcased hundreds of industry-focused products & services.

On January 31, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy  signed into law a bill creating license requirements for both pool service contractors and pool builders/installers doing work in the State of New Jersey.

Along with many of you, I spent the last week in January at The Pool & Spa Show in Atlantic City.  It was once again a great Show and I enjoyed the opportunity to meet with so many NESPA members.
