The Green Spa Network has elected to new board members to its team: Teresa Flyger, director, global brand wellness at Hilton Worldwide and Sallie Fraenkel, founder and president of Mind Body Spirit Network.
As a development project manager within the spa and fitness industry for the past 20 years, Flyger developed award-winning projects with multi-cultural teams around the globe. Having recently joined the Hilton team, her focus is on creating unique wellness spaces and guest experiences. Flyger’s previous experience includes working with numerous wellness consulting teams and guiding wellness development projects with architectural and interior design firms.
“For many years, I have known that GSN resonates with my personal mission of promoting wellness, luxury, and personal care in a way that is environmentally socially responsible,” said Flyger. “GSN stands out amongst the organisations as one that I can truly support, and look forward to what we can do together in the near future."
Fraenkel connects people through events focusing on spa, wellness, food, beauty, and travel. She has a lifelong passion for – and expertise in – wellness travel, which she uses in her consulting practice.
Fraenkel’s latest addition to her portfolio is a certification in Coaching for Transformation. Fraenkel is the former COO of Spa finder Wellness, Inc. and executive vice president of the Global Wellness Summit. Prior to that she had a twenty-year career in the entertainment industry at Showtime Networks. Fraenkel serves on several non-profit boards, including Gift of Hope, NYSPA, and as co-chair of the Social Impact Initiative for the Global Wellness Institute.
“Becoming part of the GSN board is very exciting for me, as my personal belief that one cannot have true wellness of the individual without wellness of the planet is so closely aligned with that of the organisation,” said Fraenkel. “It’s a privilege to serve with such dedicated and talented group of spa and wellness professionals who give their time and energy to this organisation."
