The International Health, Racquet & Sportsclub Association (IHRSA), has announced this year's four new nominees for its board of directors.

Each year, between two and four IHRSA members – who are club operators – are elected to the board to replace outgoing members.

This year's nominees are Frank Lawrence, CEO of Little Rock Athletic Centers; Chris Smith, CEO of SNFW Fitness; Greta Wagner, executive director of Chelsea Piers; and Chris Stevenson, owner of Stevenson Fitness.

All four will stand for election during IHRSA’s annual meeting in March.

If elected, each will serve a four-year term from 1 July 2019 through 30 June 2023.

The IHRSA board of directors is tasked with "guiding the fitness industry with strategic direction and insight".
