Skin Care
Associated
Professionals
Success is rarely an individual endeavor. We all need teachers,
mentors, friends, and family who understand what success
means to us. This invaluable support group is willing to offer
advice, constructive criticism, and encouragement to help us
work toward our dreams.
My "village" at Associated Skin Care Professionals (ASCP) includes the group
of lovely ladies pictured here. This photo was taken at the National Aesthetic Spa
Network (NASN) event held in August, not too far from our offi ces in Golden,
Colorado. Team members of ASCP, Associated Hair Professionals (AHP), and
Associated Nail Professionals (ANP)—affectionately known in the offi ce as the
"Cosmo Girls"—are smart, savvy businesswomen, and together we brainstorm,
collaborate, network, compliment each other's shoes, and do a fair amount of
giggling. We also work together to make our associations the best they can be and
our members as successful as possible.
We are here to provide the information, education, and member services you
deserve and expect. We are here to support your professional growth and success, just
as you support ours.
The end of the
year tends to be a
time of refl ection
and gratitude, and
as I look back, I
am grateful for the
wonderful people with
whom I spend my
days and the village
of ASCP members of
which I am privileged
to be a part.
All of us at ASCP,
as well as our sister
associations, wish you
the happiest—and
most successful—
of holidays.
