Member Spotlight
In our latest newsletter, we’d like to shine a spotlight on an incredible member of our community, Lisa Duffy. Lisa moved to Elk Grove in 2021 and was referred to us by her friend Patsy Rogers, and joined InnoGrove in 2022.
Lisa owns a Live Scan and Ink Card fingerprinting business and is also a Notary Public and an Apostille Agent.
As a dedicated service provider, Lisa recognized the challenges faced by fellow providers in California when it came to meeting the strict requirements for tracking live scan and ink card transactions. In response, she passionately embarked on the journey to teach others the DOJ-compliant way to start a fingerprinting business and to compliment other service providers, she created an invaluable resource – a fingerprinting journal. This comprehensive tool is meticulously designed to simplify record-keeping and enhance compliance for Fingerprint Service Providers across the state. Lisa’s dedication to the industry is truly inspiring. We are delighted to support her in sharing this remarkable journal with the community. For those fingerprint service providers who are interested, you can find The Ultimate Fingerprinting Journal now available for purchase at https://tinyurl.com/FPjournal. It’s a testament to the power of innovation and collaboration within our field.
