When you think of Iowa’s barbering and cosmetology community, you probably picture the artistry, precision, and passion behind every cut, color, and style. A positive experience getting a new haircut or style has the power to send you back into the world feeling confident. Behind the scenes, actively shaping the future of this industry of personal empowerment is the Iowa Barber and Cosmetology Arts and Sciences Political Action Committee (IBCSA).
What is the IBCSA PAC?
For the last 15 years, the IBCSA has been the collective voice of Iowa’s barbers, cosmetologists, estheticians, nail techs, instructors, beauty professionals, and industry partners. While scissors, combs, and clippers are the staple tools of the trade, this PAC is the tool that gives the industry a seat at the table to have our collective voice heard around for decisions being made around Des Moines.
Our PAC is an amplifier for your voice. Legislators and regulators make decisions every year that directly impact how we train, work, and grow our businesses. The IBCSA PAC makes sure that those decisions are shaped by the people who live the profession every day – people like you.
Why do we have a PAC?
It’s simple – because the decisions about licensing, education requirements, sanitation rules, and even how or where you can provide services aren’t made in the salon or the barbershop. They’re made at the statehouse. Our PAC makes sure our industry isn’t on the sidelines while others make decisions that directly impact both professionals and customers. A PAC ensures lawmakers understand our reality: the artistry, the business challenges, the safety standards, and the economic impact on all professionals in this industry in Iowa. It keeps our industry at the table, not just on the menu.
Why Donate?
It’s again a simple truth: influence matters. When you support the IBCSA PAC, you’re investing in your future and the industry we chose. Protect your profession, amplify your voice, and shape your future. That is how we make sure our industry will thrive in Iowa for years to come.
The Bottom Line
The IBCSA PAC is how Iowa’s barbering and cosmetology community protects your craft, our standards, and the future. United, we are more than just industry professionals; we are the voice that shapes our future.
Please contribute to the PAC,
It’s an investment in your future and the industry!
