ä A Voice in the State Advisory Board<br />
By Ben Rogers<br />
Why should you attend the Cosmetology, Manicurist, Esthetician, <strong>and</strong> Barber Advisory<br />
Board meetings? Would you like to have a say in your future? Do you want to protect your<br />
right to practice as a licensed barber, cosmetologist, manicurist, or esthetician? Do you want<br />
to be a part of a st<strong>and</strong>ard-setting advisory board?<br />
Having your voice heard is the first step in advocating a cause, an undertaking that<br />
can bring about positive change in people’s lives. Being able to communicate effectively<br />
with the state’s advisory board <strong>and</strong> licensing representatives can help you to foster a better<br />
underst<strong>and</strong>ing of what you want for your professions <strong>and</strong> what you need to do in order to<br />
maintain your livelihood. When given the opportunity to voice your concerns, your message<br />
can be heard loud <strong>and</strong> clear through participation in the advisory board meetings.<br />
The need for advocacy in the beauty professions is not based solely on financial motivation,<br />
as a licensed professional, it is important to underst<strong>and</strong> that your livelihood is at stake.<br />
But reasons for involvement go beyond the bottom line.<br />
The State has a responsibility to ensure consumer safety by having rules <strong>and</strong> regulations<br />
for licensees to follow. There are times when you may disagree, but following a professional<br />
course of action is always the best way to advocate your cause.<br />
It is not enough to say that the industry needs to improve the education of beauty<br />
professionals. If the profession doesn’t help educate the teachers of our future by supporting<br />
efforts within the field, then how will that impact the future?<br />
Industry professionals can’t afford the luxury of the status quo or doing things the way<br />
they have always been done. Times are changing, <strong>and</strong>, in order for these industries to survive,<br />
you must be politically aware <strong>and</strong> be open to new ideas for promoting the continued<br />
safety of consumers, as well as protecting your professional rights.<br />
The professions must work together to find st<strong>and</strong>ards people are comfortable with <strong>and</strong><br />
then share that information with the state, as well as the rest of the industry. Where do you<br />
want to be five or even 10 years from now? The professions benefit greatly when everyone<br />
works together <strong>and</strong> shares their passion to build something for the professions.<br />
There are many bright, talented professionals who could do great things if given the<br />
opportunity to work together. Here is your opportunity.<br />
