The Young Auto Care Network Group (YANG) held its open council meeting at the Auto Care Association's Fall Leadership Days event on Sept. 17 at the Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C.  YANG was excited to network with other volunteer leaders and industry supporters on the Hill!  Our collective voices were present throughout the Legislative Summit.  We had an incredible experience walking the halls of congress and meeting with legislators on Right to Repair!
