Let us join in a united effort to be progressive in our A Merger That Has Sustained 50 Years of Success The merger between the National Council of Boards of Beauty Culture and the Interstate Council of Boards of Cosmetology represented a stepping stone towards greater accomplishments in the field of cosmetology. Because of this union the new group would profit from their experiences and the mistakes of the two organizations. By erasing the past they could move on to greater achievements. This brought the two groups to an agreement in Louisville, KY in 1955 to merge the two organizations. Together they worked side by side for a year with many discussions on the objectives and standards and then officially merged on July 12, 1956 in Dallas, TX. The results of this merger was a new organization, the National Interstate Council of State Boards of Cosmetology, Inc. An election was held with Queen Ann Sims of South Carolina becoming the first president to serve the newly formed group. One of the main goals of the new organization was to modernize license law administration and better enforcement for cosmetology, according to Jacob Yahm, who that time was elected at that time editor continued on page 3 thinking, progressive in our planning and progressive in our actions.
