MEET OUR BOARD

The 1901 legislative assembly passed legislation establishing the Board of Barber Examiners, codified as North Dakota Century Code chapter 43-04. This chapter requires the Governor to appoint a Board of Barber Examiners. The Board, generally speaking, provides supervision of the practice of barbering to protect the public health, welfare and safety. It is the responsibility of the Board to protect the public and the barbering profession from unfair and uneconomic practices.

The North Dakota State Board of Barber Examiners are chosen from our Association membership. The members nominate five people at the annual State Barber Association Convention meeting. The list is sent to the Governor and he/she then appoints one of the nominees to the Board. Each potential Board member must be a registered North Dakota Barber, who has been practicing the profession for not less than five years prior to nomination.

They serve three-year terms, with one term expiring on December 31st of each year. All Barber Shops or Barber Colleges where barber service is rendered is open to inspection at all times during business hours to any member of the Board or to any member of the State Department of Health.
