2026 Congressional summit & Hill Day

The 2026 AACS Congressional Summit & Hill Day brought together school owners, educators, and industry leaders from across the country for a powerful, unified effort on Capitol Hill.

 

This was a record-setting year for the AACS community, with 139 members participating in more than 215 meetings with elected officials—amplifying the voice of the beauty, barber, and wellness education sector at a critical moment for the industry.

 

Because of this collective effort, our industry showed up strong: sharing real stories, advocating for students, and reinforcing the essential role our schools play in workforce development and local communities nationwide.
