Congratulations to Brody Ivy, one of our January Members of the Month! Since joining last semester, Brody has become a great member and asset to SPA. He has quickly become someone we can easily rely on to not only do his intended job but also approach it enjoyably.

I can't wait to see what route Brody takes in the future with SPA! - Nathan Inman (Concerts Chair) Brody has been a wonderful addition to SPA as only a first year! I’ve been able to see Brody work in all the roles we expect of a general member and he has excelled every time. A memory of Brody that sticks out for me is our most recent SPA day. Almost an hour after general members had been dismissed for the evening, Brody insisted on staying outside in the January cold because he had an urge to fully learn our load-out process! I am so excited to see how Brody grows in SPA, and we are lucky to have him! - Trinity Jackson (Director of Internal Affairs)
