Board & Advisory Council
PBA encourages industry professionals to join PBA and take an active role in the association. Elections will be held each year for two Advisory Council seats in each of the membership sections:
• Beauty Professional/NCA
• Distributor
• Manufacturer
• Salon/Spa
Join The Advisory Council
This is your chance to:
- Play a significant role in advancing your profession;
- Enhance the value of the Professional Beauty Association within the professional community;
- Exchange ideas and perspectives with other volunteer leaders.
The application period for the 2025 Advisory Council elections will open in fall, 2024.
