IHRSA strengthens European ties
Newly-appointed Scandinavian ambassador for IHRSA, Doug Miller, has spearheaded a Scandinavian Active Network conference to develop a joint approach towards unilateral staff qualifications and club certification in the region.
Fitness industry delegates from Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland attended the conference, which provided a platform to start a dialogue between the countries to implement industry standards. These are already in force within Canada, the UK, Australia and New Zealand.
Cliff Collins, registrar at the Register of Exercise Professionals, and Jean Ann Marnoch, Central YMCA Qualifications’ (CYQ) executive director, also attended the conference. They offered advice on how to set up a properly-constructed framework to transfer ability and skills throughout Europe.
