All were elected by ISPA membership and each brings executive management experience from across the bedding industry.

The ISPA Board of Trustees is responsible for governing the Association and its committees. It is comprised of ISPA members who serve two-year terms and represent ISPA’s diverse membership of sleep products manufacturers and suppliers.

“ISPA is a strong community filled with professionals, friends and mentors,” said Grubb, commenting on her appointment. “Throughout my career at Wright Global Graphics, we have been a long-standing supporter of ISPA, and I am honored and grateful to have the opportunity to give something back by serving on the ISPA Board.”

Sherman added that he was honored by the appointment, “I’ve served on the ISPA Board and a few ISPA committees in the past and it’s truly a pleasure to come back onboard to further contribute to the growth and sustainability of our industry.”

ISPA President Ryan Trainer welcomed the new trustees: “I look forward to the insights that they will contribute as we plan for the future of the association. On behalf of the full ISPA membership, I thank each of them for volunteering their time and effort to serve in these important positions.
