Letter to Our Industry

Momentum. Moving forward and creating change continues to be a driving theme for our industry and the Professional Beauty Association.

When we first launched our national advocacy and government affairs program, we had a fundamental understanding that individuals and businesses join together in an organization like PBA to create a more powerful voice on the issues that matter most.

Public policy and perception can have a profound impact on the professionals, companies and organizations that populate the professional beauty industry. PBA knows how vital it is to prepare for tomorrow by establishing a prominent place at the policy-making table today. That's why we continue to cultivate a strong and respected voice in support of our industry at the federal and state levels - building relationships, earning trust and mobilizing resources every step of the way.

All of the work we are forging in the public policy arena is supported by individuals like you - citizens of a dynamic industry who understand the real cost of apathy and the true power of ideas and action.

In an information-driven economy, PBA knows it's not enough just to be part of the conversation. That's why we are focused on marshaling our resources to transform discussion into action, building and ensuring a bright future for our industry.

It's our pleasure to share with you the contents of this special print edition of PBA's The Washington Update.

With kind regards,
