NEW•NOW•NEXT Comfort & Joy — Compiled by Arlene Tolin As part of the Cosmetologists Chicago scholarship program, the President’s Scholarship is awarded to members and can equal up to $7,000 over a lifetime for continuing education.

But in the air, there’s a spirit of giving. I n honor of all the good the professional beauty industry does, MODERN SALON has made a list—no need to check it twice. We already know the 50-plus examples we’ve collected this month of humanitarian and environmental efforts taken up by salon owners, professionals, students, distributors and manufacturers are merely the tip of a very big iceberg of generosity and dedication. We share this handful of examples in our special edition of New-Now-Next as a tribute to the true beauty of the professional beauty industry—and as inspiration to those of you already collecting ideas for the programs and causes you’ll support in 2008. Here’s to all you give, day in and day out! PROVIDE EDUCATION Heal the Earth Aveda and its network of salons and customers support environmental causes year-round. For the holidays, as part of the company’s commitment to responsible sourcing practices, renewably sourced paper is an element of each of eight limited-edition gift sets. Using a holistic business model in which all parties— and the Earth—beneﬁt, Aveda partnered with women artisans in the Bajhang region of Nepal. Local communities receive fair payment for their handmade Lotka paper, providing income to several hundred families while protecting their land from the economic and environmental hardships of deforestation. Earlier in the year, the Aveda network of salon/ spas and stores raised $2.1 million dollars for clean water projects. Monies raised from the sale of the Light the Way candle and other fundraisers help Global Greengrants Fund’s grassroots efforts to promote water rights in more than eighty countries worldwide, with $120,000 of this year’s Earth Month proceeds funding water projects that support Aveda’s indigenous and agricultural partners. Visit www.aveda.com. Aveda gift sets come beautifully packaged in renewably sourced Lotka paper beneﬁting communities in Nepal. Jerry Gordon, Cosmetologists Chicago Immediate Past President, congratulates four of the 2006 CC Presidents Scholarship winners. Cosmetologist Chicago awarded 21 members a total of $25,000 to put toward continuing education with plans to award the same amount next year. 22 DECEMBER 2007 www.modernsalon.com http://www.americasbeautyshow.com/education http://www.aveda.com http://www.modernsalon.com
