You are a tanning salon owner, you know all too well that unfair government regulations are a constant threat to your business. Right now, there are federal and state regulators discussing under-21 tan bans, taxes and other restrictions without any consideration of scientific accuracy or the harm it would cause business owners and their customers.

Fortunately, the American Suntanning Association (ASA) has had several thousand meetings in Washington, D.C. since 2013 on behalf of your business and this industry. ASA has also succeeded in defeating dozens of onerous state regulations and tan bans. For our industry to hold off these attacks, we must cover a lot of issues and impact a lot of people. Right now, ASA is working to change the federal government’s position on UV light and to prevent harmful federal and state regulations. This sounds like a lot of work, because it is.

ASA Continues Effective Government Relations Efforts

To manage this enormous effort, ASA has developed a well-organized team. And though the ASA has a strong team working for you, there is still only so much this group can do without your help. To win this battle waged against our industry and your business, we need members and advocates from every state willing to join the ASA and strengthen our industry’s collective resources.

The most important way to help your salon association defend your business from federal and state government attacks is by becoming a member. Your membership contribution only amounts to what you’re probably spending on your daily morning coffee. This is a small price to pay for the peace of mind that your business is being looked after while you’re busy at your salon.

By becoming an ASA member, you make an investment in your future. Regardless of what industry you do business in, you need to help secure the long-term health and success of your venture. The ASA is the only organization that has the ability to actively represent you in Washington, D.C. and in every state.

You don’t need to have extensive knowledge of politics and relevant issues to become an ASA member. Our talented team of representatives and consultants will handle these issues through your membership financial assistance. If you want to become an advocate, we will supply you with the information and coaching you need to feel comfortable participating and make your involvement as impactful as possible. We’ll be with you every step of the way.

The ASA has created a powerful organization to help defend and improve your business and we need your help. So, please send an email to DaleP@americansuntanning.org right now. Let Dale know that you are interested in joining the ASA. That’s all it takes! Please contact us today.

 

The ASA is the only organization that has the ability to actively represent you in Washington, D.C. and in every state.
