Annual Convention & Expo is just around the corner; literally, it’s three weeks away! There’s still time to sign up, as we have some very valuable sessions that you just can’t miss out on. Last week, the Government Relations Committee reported hearing from top-level Department of Education officials that Gainful Employment numbers will be released sometime in October, not November, as previously forecast by AACS. This is really important as AACS’ Convention & Expo will be addressing Gainful Employment directly. Check out the sessions here. We look forward to addressing the issues that matter to members and delivering quality education when it counts. Don’t wait any longer, sign up now!
Finally, AACS rolled out a BRAND new member benefit, and it’s FREE. We heard you. You want the right education at the right time, so here you go! We have 13 new webinars that cover the gamut of the things you want to talk about: succession planning, placement verification, clinic benchmarks, nails, SEO Basics, Yelp (that’s right, Yelp!) and much more! I will add more with time, but if there is a topic YOU want to hear about, let me know. I can be reached at adam@beautyschools.org. In the meantime, you can sign up for your webinars here!
See you at Annual!

We wanted to be certain that the entire membership is aware of the Dept’s IFAP notice from October 7. It is important that you read the entire announcement. When the earnings data is released, we will post a message on the listserve. You can find the direct link here. Thank you, Kristie Davis GRC Communications
Below is a small section of the announcement from the Dept:
Gainful Employment SSA Earnings Data Report (GESSA1) AACS anticipates that the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) will provide SSA earnings data to each designated Student Aid Internet Gateway (SAIG) mailbox. The report, which will be sent in the GESSFWOP message class, will provide each institution with a list of its GE programs, sorted by CIP code and Credential Level, with the associated mean and median SSA earnings amount for the 2014 calendar year. SSA Earnings Data on the FSA Data Center In the future, we will post SSA earnings data on the FSA Data Center, to include mean and median 2014 calendar year earnings data for all GE programs with 10 or more students with SSA-verified information.

"There is no debate online customer reviews are important whether you are selling a product or offering a service. We know that consumers look to friends, family and even strangers for feedback and recommendations on services and products. They trust the word-of-mouth marketing. We use the Internet to research before we buy, so what people say online matters and influences whether or not someone purchases from you." Read more on this blog post from the balance.
