American Med Spa State Chapters Empower Organization and Legislative Change

The American Med Spa Association (AmSpa) announced the launch of state chapters to support grassroots change and build a nationwide network of safe, responsible med spa professionals.

CHICAGO, Sept. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- In an effort to build a strong nationwide network of responsible, safe medical spa professionals, the American Med Spa Association (AmSpa) has announced the launch of state chapters. Beginning in California, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee and Utah, this growing community network will support efforts for med spa owners and practitioners to make a difference in their state.

Navigating medical spa regulations and best practices in an ever-evolving industry has consistently been a challenge, and impacting state policy as an individual practice is another matter altogether.

"One of the core focuses of AmSpa has always been uniting medical spa professionals into a community of responsible, safe and legally compliant medical aesthetic practices," says Alex R. Thiersch, JD, founder and CEO of the American Med Spa Association.

AmSpa state chapters empower like-minded medical spa professionals to connect at a local level to organize, impact state policy and legislation, and help shape what the medical spa industry looks like in their state. State chapters will have access to exclusive chat groups, local organizing efforts, access to AmSpa leadership and the ability to request legal or financial resources from AmSpa to help build up the chapter's state-wide influence.

"One of the core focuses of AmSpa has always been uniting medical spa professionals into a community of responsible, safe and legally compliant medical aesthetic practices," says Alex R. Thiersch, JD, founder and CEO of the American Med Spa Association. "The launch of state chapters is a true partnership between the national organization and leaders in each state, because compliance is different in every state, and the changes, enforcement and regulation are purely at the state level. If our industry is going to have a voice and have a seat at the table, we must be organized locally not just nationally. That's where change will happen, and so we're eager to support the local chapters in shaping the foundation of medical aesthetics."

State Chapter Leadership
Each state chapter will have its own chair or co-chairs in order to guide the development of the chapter and direct efforts to building a stronger and more unified community in their state.

California

  •     Co-chair: Stacy Grissen, MSN, AGNP-C, Aesthetically Pleasing Medical Spa
  •     Co-chair: Sahar Saghezchi, Cupertino Facial Esthetics
  •     Secretary: Danielle Ruggiero, PA-C, Veda Med Spa

Florida

  •     Co-chair: Michael Zanetti, Erasable Med Spa
  •     Co-chair: Julie Davis-Hunter, Pura Vida Body & Mind Spa, Inc
  •     Secretary: Adrienne Lloyd, Med Spa Optimization

Georgia

  •     Chair: Martina Kolovich, NP, Altera Aesthetix

Tennessee

  •     Chair: Courtney Walker, JD, Smiley Aesthetics

Utah

  •     Co-chair: Amanda Hopper, St. George Med Spa
  •     Co-chair: Terri Hancock, DNP, ACNP-BC, Bellissima Med Spa

AmSpa is currently waiving chapter dues, so current AmSpa Plus members can join a chapter at no additional cost.

The pilot launch of chapters includes five states, and chapters will continue the roll out over the course of 2024 and 2025.
