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.
