Nonprofit trade association, Green Spa Network (GSN), has named Thor Holm as board president and appointed new leadership positions to its board of directors.

Holm heads up Osmosis Day Spa Sanctuary, in California, as general manager and brings 30 years experience in spa, fitness and hospitality management to the role.

His appointment to board president follows his two-year term as vice president.

“I can’t remember a more pivotal moment during my life than the moment we find ourselves in today," said Holm.

“I’m beyond thrilled to announce the addition of these eight talented and committed individuals to join the ranks of the current board and standing on the foundation left by all who served before. The future of GSN looks very bright.”

GSN Planet welcomes the following newly elected members to the board:
  • Julie Andrews, chief creative officer, Kerstin Florian

  • Clifford Bast, founder and principal at Bast Sustainability, ESG & and SDGs Consulting

  • Rocco Bova, GM, Chablé Resort Yucatán
