Who We Are

- Information sharing
- Leadership development
- Education on operational excellence
- Insights on emerging industry news and topics
Our vision is to be the trusted source of insight, practice excellence, and leadership for members, systematically engaging members and promoting their collaboration for the long-term resilience of state league-sponsored pools.
We strive to be inclusive of all people, provide resources to members on racial equity & diversity, and promote inclusivity of BIPOC within our organization and membership.
