Outgoing Governing Council Members
Two Retire, Two Continue at Leadership Council Level
The Professional Beauty Association would like to thank our retiring Governing Council members for all that they have done to shape the association:
John Heffner
Creative Nail Design, Inc.
John Heffner steps down as Chair of the Governing Council. He will carry on as a member of the Manufacturer Leadership Council. John continues to be an inspiring volunteer leader in our industry and we hope that he will be with the association for years to come.
Jeanne Matson
Clairol, a division of P&G
Jeanne Matson steps down from both the Governing Council and the Manufacturer Leadership Council, but she leaves her mark on all aspects of the association. We thank her for her firm leadership, her passion for the industry and her commitment to the manufacturer community.
Bob Peel Jr.
Peel's Salon Services
Bob Peel Jr. steps down as Chair Elect of the Governing Council, but not from an active role in the association. He will continue on as a member of the Distributor Leadership Council, where his strong and steady presence will anchor the Distributor section.
Sasha Rash
La Jolie
Sasha was an integral part of the transition from TSA to the Salon/Spa section of PBA and an able advocate for the Salon/Spa section of the industry. She served this past year both as President of the Salon/Spa Leadership Council and as a member of the Governing Council. Sasha's bright and inspiring leadership will be missed.
