The Hot Springs Association (HSA) has announced the appointment of Jessica Meath as its new executive director. Meath’s extensive background in the hot springs industry and her leadership qualities make her the ideal choice to lead the organization into a new chapter. Meath brings with her a wealth of experience, having worked closely with hot springs properties for the past 8 years. As executive director, Meath will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of the organization and driving its mission forward.
In her new role, Meath will be succeeding Vicky Nash, who will continue to collaborate with the HSA. Nash, well-known for her innovative contributions, created the immensely popular Hot Springs Connection Conference and launched the Hot Springs of America website, the primary resource for enthusiasts seeking comprehensive information on geothermal destinations. Nash will continue to focus on the Hot Springs Connection conference, potential regional meetings, and organizing future Professional Field Trip opportunities. These initiatives will allow members to explore thermal mineral water resorts not only in the United States but also in international destinations such as Iceland, China, Japan, and throughout Europe.
Both Meath and Nash have cultivated a strong professional relationship over the years, ensuring a seamless transition in leadership. Their collaboration will further strengthen the HSA's ability to support its members and enhance the hot springs industry.
