Public Comments Mr. John T. Elliott thanked everyone as this is new to him being a first year CE provider. He went into this for the purpose of something new and refreshing for the licensees and bringing someone in to collaborate would be great. He knows outstanding instructors, but them only teaching for an hour is impractical to him. He is willing to spend the funds to get an out-of-state instructor her for a successful course. Mr. Elliott would like this to be reconsidered. Ms. Michelle Hampton-Furtick let the board know that she has concerns about the current CE providers doing things that they are not supposed to do and that audits should be more random. It is unfair to the providers that are upholding the rules and regulations, which causes their business to suffer. She does not want to compromise her integrity to make money. As a serious licensee, it is worth it to her to provide exceptional service. Board members can only do what they can at this time. Ms. Gloria Smith thanked everyone and thought that it was great that they allowed the back and forth discussions. More Ce providers should attend board meetings and there should be one required meeting for providers. 12. Adjournment The meeting was adjourned at approximately 4:30 p.m. The next meeting of the S.C. Board of Cosmetology is scheduled for November 21, Page 13 of 13
