ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We gratefully acknowledge and express deep appreciation to the many wonderful people who have made this project possible: • International Haircolor Exchange, Haircolor Education Committee and guests who attended the first meeting in August, 1988:

Members of their educational teams: Tom Dispenza, Jackie Easterling, Linda
Gately, Aubrey Maugeri, Vicky Melesko, Charlet Ridell, Victor St Sure, Phillip Sutton, and Mark Wofford. • Dr. Richard Resurrection, without whom this task would have been impossible. His directive “Keep it fair, make it uniform, and
give those who fail the feedback necessary to support them in growing from the experience,” made our mission clear. His
encouragement in developing an evaluator training manual was a giant step in removing as much subjectivity as possible. • Tom Berger, former Vice President of Avanstar International Beauty Show Group, for assembling the first meeting of
manufacturers and Board of Directors. • Subject Matter Expert Participants:
