We have a member forum located at: https://icsia.wildapricot.org/Member-forum

I've made the first post there, about webinar topics. Feel free to use the board for anything crime scene related. It's locked to association members only so it can't be browsed by the general public. There is also a subscribe button on that page if you want to be notified about posts.

Due to a scheduling conflict the start time of the upcoming webinar has been pushed back from 1pm to 3pm US Eastern Time on Monday the 25th.  Hope to see you all there.

I am pleased to announce that all three candidates have been elected, so please join me in welcoming Gregory Bailey, Susan Moll and Monica Yourgal to the ICSIA Board of Directors. I'll be working on getting them all set up in the next few days, and ready for the board meeting in a couple of weeks.

In other news, we have another webinar coming up at the end of the month. John Paolucci will be presenting on the expansion of hollow point projectiles after passing through various barriers. Look for an event post on the site shortly.

Voting for the board candidates is now available. Bio's and voting info can be found here: https://icsia.wildapricot.org/sys/website/?pageId=18193

Voting is open to all active members, and will close in a week on Sunday Feb 25.

ICSIA is in need of candidates for the Board of Directors. As a member run organization, all the work required to keep us operating is done by member volunteers- we have no paid staff.  

We need people to provide direction to the organization, and more importantly to do the actual work that keeps us operating. This includes maintaining the website, planning for training classes and conferences and answering requests from both members and the public.

To that end, we have posted a request for nominations which you can find here: https://icsia.wildapricot.org/sys/website/?pageId=18151
