John Barrett transitions to Emeritus role.
October 22, 2025
By: Lianna Albrizio
Associate Editor
ISSA, the worldwide cleaning industry association, has appointed Kim Althoff its new executive director, effective Oct. 29.
Althoff will succeed John Barrett, who has served in the role since 2015 and will transition to Chairman Emeritus, continuing to advise the association for the next three years.
The leadership transition marks a pivotal juncture for ISSA as it honors Barrett’s 10 years of leadership and embraces a new chapter under Althoff’s direction.
“John’s leadership has been nothing short of transformative,” said Laurie Sewell, ISSA President and CEO of Servicon Systems. “His vision and dedication have elevated ISSA’s global presence, expanded member services, and strengthened our advocacy efforts. On behalf of the ISSA Board of Directors, we are deeply grateful for his service and are thrilled to welcome Kim into this role. Her energy, strategic mindset, and deep industry relationships make her the ideal leader for ISSA’s next chapter.”
Althoff, who has 29 years’ experience at ISSA, most recently served as executive vice president. In this role, she led membership, events, media, sales, international operations and ISSA Charities. Althoff has been instrumental in advancing strategic partnerships, overseeing flagship events like ISSA Show North America, and championing member engagement initiatives such as the ISSA Hygieia Network and ISSA Emerging Leaders Program.
“I’m honored and excited to step into this role,” Althoff said. “ISSA is much more than an association—it’s a vibrant community of businesses and professionals who come together to drive the industry forward. I am incredibly passionate about our industry, and I look forward to working with our talented staff and amazing members to build on John’s legacy and shape the future of ISSA.”
ISSA will formally announce the leadership transition to ISSA members during ISSA Show North America 2025, taking place Nov. 10-13 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas. To register, visit www.issashow.com.
