General Announcements2010 Membership Drive The deadline is quickly approaching for all applications for ASCLD membership. All applications and supporting materials must be received by July 1 in order for the applicant to be voted in at this year's annual symposium. We currently have 63 new Regular Member Applications which is 37 short of our goal of 100 new members. If you know of any manager/supervisor who would be eligible for membership but has not yet applied, please encourage them to join and submit their application before the deadline. With all of the activity going on in Forensics, now is an excellent time to become a member of an organization that represents the needs and issues in the Forensic Laboratory. We have members currently representing us in providing input on legislative decisions being made as a result of the NAS report. ASCLD members are also providing insight into issues and legislation regarding sexual assault kits and analysis. ASCLD continues to promote funding for crime laboratories and capacity building. There are several areas where members can become actively involved including advocacy, membership, bylaws of the organization and planning of the annual symposium to name a few. The annual symposium continues to provide training and up-to-date information on management and forensic issues as well as a venue to interact with other laboratory managers. The contacts and information that can be obtained from these interactions is invaluable. Application information and the application can be found here http://ascld.org/content/about-ascld. If you have any questions, please contact Jean_Stover@isp.state.il.us, 309-284-6500. Thank you. Jean Stover
