ASA ASA Legislative Overview owner board of directors, which collectively makes choices that re���ect the wishes and needs of all ASA members. These decisions are based on input from a large group of experts in the media, government relations and scienti���c research ���elds. My role will be to represent the ASA to the public, keep track of the details and report back to the board so that they can make the right decisions. State It will take time, but once all the research is considered, naysayers will have no choice but to recognize that the entirety of the science supports our position. We all know that the science is on our side ��� it���s just a matter of getting the opportunity to present all of the facts. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or suggestions regarding the ASA.

We want to ensure that consumers have all the information as they form their own opinions about moderate exposure to UV light. Alabama HB 5521 We are most certainly facing an uphill battle with our public relations effort, and unfortunately, I believe our message has already been misconstrued by media reports and misunderstood by some within the industry. We do not wish to get into a senseless battle of words with opponents, but we do feel that articulating our scienti���cally backed position through proper government and scienti���c channels is vital to the future and prosperity of our industry. Description SB 816 ���I���m very thankful to John Overstreet for helping to facilitate the smooth transition of lobbying responsibilities from the ITA to the ASA.��� - Tracie Cunningham, ASA Executive Director Bill for 2013 North Carolina Now, enough about me ��� onto the ASA, our current status and our plans. Like any maturing market, our industry reached a point where it was time to develop better-focused associations that served the supplier and salon sectors of the market more effectively. So the salons and manufacturers decided to create their own separate organizations to support their respective needs. The ASA was created to serve the needs of the tanning salon owners. I���m very thankful to John Overstreet for helping to facilitate the smooth transition of lobbying responsibilities from the ITA to the ASA. The ASA is currently managing more state battles than any other time in history and we couldn���t have done it without John���s help.
