I am humbled and ecstatic to serve as the 2023-2024 NCIAI President! I thank you all for trusting me with this responsibility and privilege, and I hope to make you all proud!

The NCIAI has always worked together to enhance and improve the field of forensic science, to educate and train others in the field, and to share struggles and accomplishments. We accomplished the 2023 Joint Regional IAI Conference with the Georgia and Tennessee Divisions of the IAI with a great turnout and huge success!

We are in the planning phases of the 2024 NCIAI Educational Conference in Wrightsville Beach, NC, in October. We hope to see you all there!
​
We have a great membership that spans North Carolina and beyond! I want to thank our past presidents, board members, and officers for continually volunteering their time and energy to make this an amazing association!
