"When I knew collegiate licensing was my career choice, I became determined to get more involved with ICLA," said Spino. "At first, it was about meeting professional goals. Join a committee. Check. Participate in the mentorship program. Check. Apply for the Board…three times. Check. Check. Check. But over time, it became less about me, and more about giving back to the membership that positively impacted my life. I am humbled and honored to serve as the next ICLA President, but I am even more grateful to be surrounded by the best minds in the business, many of which I am proud to call my friends and mentors. You are my second family. I believe the challenges we face in today's world will make the association stronger, wiser, and closer than ever before. I am excited to continue building on Clarence's progress and to support the Board's hard work and dedication to the membership. Thank you for your trust and support."
