   While many beauty-related shows focus on live demos and product knowledge, CEA is unique and tailored to give educators skills they need in the classroom. This year’s convention will include sessions on motivation, methodology and technical training. We’ll also go over teaching tech-addicted millennials and engaging your students through social media.
Don’t forget your Admissions and Marketing staff! This year we’re bringing back our popular AMP track, focusing on increasing recruitment, design of marketing materials, and digital advertising.
Learning some things in life is relatively straightforward. Learning to lead others, on the other hand, isn't so simple. There's always the option to pick up a leadership book or turn to articles on the topic to get started, but a start is all it will be. You've got to read, listen, ask questions, put things into practice, make mistakes, and course-correct – only then, you might be at a "good enough" level.
But everyone has to start somewhere, and if you're looking to embark on a leadership development path, you might also be looking for some of the best materials to help you along the journey. Check out these 7 great resources to hone your leadership skills.

Murad, the pioneering clinical skin care brand and Beauty Changes Lives scholarship sponsor, invites AACS member schools to participate in its "Eyes Up" initiative. The campaign draws awareness to the cultural stress that can arise when we engage with our digital devices at the expense of human interaction. When we take a moment time to "look up" from tablets, phones and e-readers, we can reap the energy that comes only through a human connection with the "real world." Will you join the Beauty Changes Lives Foundation in looking up? More information about the Eyes Up initiative is available here.
GRC News
Texas’ legislature adjourned their 140-day legislative session, and the following Texas bills received final legislative approval and are headed to Governor Abbott for signature into law:
HB 2738 – which allows credit hour instruction.
HB 2739 – which eliminates specified space requirements for barbering schools. It also contains language specifying that private beauty culture schools be in a building of permanent construction that’s divided into at least two separate areas, one for instruction in theory and one for clinical work; has adequate space, equipment, and instructional material, as determined by the commission, to provide quality classroom training; and has access to permanent restrooms and adequate drinking fountain facilities.
SB 1502 – which deregulates threading.
SB 1503 – which removes "shampooing" from the state's barbering and cosmetology scope of practice definition; and abolishes shampoo apprentice permits and shampoo specialty certificates.
SB 2065 – which amends the Occupations Code to prohibit the Texas Commission of Licensing and Regulation from establishing building or facility standards for barber or private beauty culture schools that are not related to health and safety.
Read more about these bills and more in this week’s AACS State Relations Update.
