The YANG Legislative Conference will provide an opportunity for young auto care professionals to learn about the industry’s most pressing issues and meet face-to-face with members of Congress on Capitol Hill. Attendees will receive an issue briefing and coaching on the afternoon of Monday, June 13, followed by a reception and dinner. A full day of meetings with elected officials will be held on Tuesday, June 14.

“Some of the best advocates for educating legislators on the impact of laws and regulations on our respective businesses are our newest leaders in the auto care industry,” said Bill Hanvey, president and CEO, Auto Care Association. “Given the increasing enthusiasm surrounding this industry’s future, combined with the association’s desire to offer more political advocacy opportunities for our members, the 2016 YANG Legislative Conference is a must-attend event.”

YANG members, as well as all Auto Care Association members under the age of 40, are encouraged to attend. There is no cost; however, participants are responsible for their own travel and accommodations.
