The Challenge Is On!

We're excited to launch the Clean It Forward Challenge: The Industry Gives Back fundraiser and invite our community to help make a difference.

Here's how it works:
✔ Donate to ISSA Charities
✔ Share your support on social media
✔ Challenge 3 others to do the same

Together, we're working to raise $160,000 in support of Cleaning For A Reason - Official Page, the ISSA Hygieia Network, and ISSA Scholars. Every contribution helps provide clean homes for cancer patients and their families, empower women to grow and advance in their careers, and support the next generation through educational scholarships.

One donation becomes many. One challenge becomes a movement.

As the ISSA Altus BSC Summit comes to a close, we're leaving inspired, energized, and equipped with new ideas to drive our businesses forward.

Today's sessions tackled some of the most important topics facing BSC leaders, from navigating growth opportunities in Maximizing Enterprise Value: M&A Trends & Strategies to advancing environmental stewardship through Sustainability in Action. Attendees also explored practical approaches to strengthening financial performance in Contracting + Cash Flow: Bridging the Gap.

Over the past two days, we've shared insights, challenged assumptions, built connections, and learned from some of the best minds in the industry.

Thank you to our speakers, sponsors, and attendees for making this year's Summit such a valuable experience. The conversations may be ending, but the work and momentum continue.

Until next time!

Yesterday, the ISSA Altus BSC Summit ended on a high note.

Attendees wrapped up the day with meaningful discussions during the peer group workshop, where they began building actionable 90-day plans to turn Summit insights into real results.

The conversation continued with Workforce of the Future: Recruiting, Leading, and Retaining Talent, a panel that tackled one of the industry's most pressing challenges. Leaders shared practical strategies for attracting top talent, developing strong teams, and creating cultures where employees can thrive.

The engagement, collaboration, and willingness to share ideas made for a powerful close to an outstanding first day.

Let's see what today brings.

Innovation. Strategy. Action.

The conversations continued this morning at the ISSA Altus BSC Summit as attendees explored some of the most important topics shaping the future of the BSC industry.

• How can technology become a true competitive moat?
• How can BSCs effectively evaluate, prioritize, and implement AI to drive real business value?
• How does radiant leadership transform culture? In The Sunshine Effect, attendees explored the powerful impact leaders have on engagement, performance, and organizational success.

The room was filled with thoughtful discussion, practical insights, and actionable strategies that leaders can take back and apply immediately.

One thing is clear: the future belongs to organizations that embrace innovation, leverage technology strategically, and cultivate cultures where people and businesses can thrive.

Looking forward to continuing the conversation this afternoon and building on today's momentum.

ISSA applauds the bipartisan introduction of the Safer Choice Program Authorization Act of 2026 and thanks Senators Chris C***s (D-DE) and Jon Husted (R-OH) for their leadership on this important issue. The legislation would formally authorize EPA's Safer Choice Program, providing long-term certainty for manufacturers, purchasers, and consumers while supporting innovation in safer, high-performing cleaning products.

The bill's introduction follows months of industry engagement, including 150+ Capitol Hill meetings during ISSA's 2026 Clean Advocacy Summit, where authorization of the Safer Choice Program was a top priority.

It is a powerful reminder that advocacy works—and that when our industry speaks with one voice, policymakers listen.
