Outreach

Published in

Outreach is action taken by the ASCLD Advocacy Committee to influence or produce systemic change to ensure fair treatment and social justice for forensic science and scientists.  Advocacy responsibilities include, but are not limited to, Liaison Activities, Resource Assistance, Promotion of Laboratory Accreditation, and Legislative Outreach. 

To better represent the membership and streamline the flow of information to and from the membership and the ASCLD Board, the Board of Directors has divided the country into nine regions, plus an International Diplomacy Council, for communication purposes. 

Director Dave McAlpin is chair of the Advocacy Committee
