A message from the Chair of theBarbering and Cosmetology Examining BoardWelcome to all barbers, cosmetologists, nail technicians, aestheticians, electrologists, vendors, andpresenters! Thanks to the commitment of many licensees over many years, and the support of SecretaryJackson, continuing education is now in the forefront for our license renewal.Many professions require continuing education. Why do we need continuing education? The simple answer is to better serve and protect the public.The more complex answer is our ever-changing world. For those of you thathave been in your profession for more than 20 years, think back to when youentered school. Did you learn about MRSA and other infections? Were allthe chemicals that you use today on the shelves then? How about the servicesyou provide? Were they even a service 20 years ago? Some of the equipmentin use today was not even on draft paper 20 years ago. My dad had a saying“Only when we understand how much we don’t know can we even fathom thedamage that we could do.” In other words, keep learning!A side benefit of continuing education is educating the public we serve. An educated consumer is asmart consumer. Tell your clients what you have learned and how they benefit from this new knowledge.A Continuing Education Committee for the BAC Board met off and on for many years, without success. The Board heard the licensees ask for continuing education, but could not move it forward untilSecretary Jackson came on board and took an active role to help us get it passed. As with many rules,we need to refine it. This will be a continuing effort.As your Board, we’d like you to tell us what you are thinking. Come to the meetings; apply to be onthe Board; read your new Regulatory Digest; and most importantly, take pride in your profession(s) byelevating your knowledge. Please visit the BAC Board page on the DRL website frequently for updatesabout your profession. Go to www.drl.wi.gov, click on “Boards” and then select the “Barbering andCosmetology Examining Board”.Enjoy the day and keep the energy going!Jeannie M.
