Imagine if tomorrow your city decided to close your business, and before you could even start a conversation, it was too late. It was already written into the law.

Right now, our industry is being talked about without us in the room. Decisions about balloons are being made by people who don't understand how professional balloon artists actually work, the care we take, the standards we follow, or the businesses and families that depend on this industry.

The Coalition for Responsible Celebrations is trying to make sure that we have a place in that room and that we stay informed about the discussions taking place without us.

This month's presenting sponsor is Balloon Coach, and one of the many ways Joette supports our industry is by advocating for the CRC so that none of our businesses are impacted by hasty legislation.

This interview took place in person at the 2025 International Balloon Convention, where Joette attended to advocate for the CRC. I hope you'll consider becoming a member so you can be part of these conversations, too.

In the UGlu Hotline, hear one listener's tip for finishing up her stuffed balloons.
