The Chamber

In 2012 alone, hundreds of bills were introduced in states all across the country that directly related to the beauty industry. When it comes to the industry, PBA State Captains are the first line of contact to state cosmetology boards, state representatives and their staff. PBA State Captains are the eyes and ears on the ground when it comes to legislative matters that directly affect your industry, your business and your employees!

Interested in becoming a State Captain? Contact Bridget Sharpe, Government Affairs & Industry Relations Coordinator at bridget@probeauty.org or 800.468.2274 x3437.
