Waiver request submitted by Michelle Michelet Verdigets, State Board of Examiners of Interiors Designers, regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for failing to file her amended 2022 Tier 2.1 annual pfd. |
|
|
72-year-old Michelle Verdigets has been serving on the Board of Interior Designs since 2019. She conducted business as "MVM Interiors," but clients could not have her consult on their renovations due to the start of the pandemic in 2020. She retired and closed her MVM bank account in 2021.The only documentation she had while in business was her Jefferson Parish occupational license, which she did not renew. This is the reason she did not list it on her disclosure. She was only made aware of this mishap after receiving the LFO. Ms. Verdigets also mentions that her term officially expired in January 2023 and is serving to be helpful. She would like to thank you for your consideration.
