The Pillar of Leadership Award
The NCA recognized Mary Rector-Gable, President of behindthechair.com with a NCA Pillar of Leadership Award for Community Service for her efforts in bringing the industry together during Hurricane Katrina. Mary was the first person to call the NCA to ask if the association could accept funding. That initial call inspired the NCA to reach out to the other associations and corporations, causing a ripple effect that called the entire professional beauty industry to action to help salon professionals on the Gulf Coast.
Educational Events
The Pivot Point International Artistic Team presented a Spring/Summer hands-on hair workshop exclusive to NCA members at the NCA’s Annual Convention on Saturday, March 3.
