“YANG provides those under 40 with a platform to connect, exchange insights, and build a supportive network for our industry’s future,” said Bill Hanvey, president and CEO, Auto Care Association.

YANG has always been a driving force in providing unparalleled personal and  professional development opportunities to its members. Corporate support can play a pivotal role in shaping the future of our industry and empowering emerging leaders within YANG.
