President’s Message
Dear CSDIAI Members,
It is with deep gratitude and great enthusiasm that I step into the role of President of our esteemed forensic organization. I am honored to follow in the footsteps of so many dedicated leaders who have shaped our organization with vision, passion, and unwavering commitment to excellence.
I would like to thank outgoing president and newly sworn chairperson, Cynthia Fortier. She worked tirelessly this last year to better our organization and it paid off in so many ways. She put on an amazing conference with great educational opportunities in a beautiful setting. Please reach out and thank her for her hard work.
My vision for the coming term centers around strengthening our professional network, delivering free educational opportunities, promoting our work on the science and practices committee, and growing both student and active membership.
Together, we will continue to advocate for the importance of forensic science. We will empower the next generation of practitioners, and ensure that our voices are heard where they matter most.
I invite each of you to be active participants in this journey. Whether through committees, volunteering, or simply sharing your insights, your involvement is what makes this organization thrive.
Thank you for your trust. I look forward to all we will accomplish together.
With respect and commitment,
Don O’Neal
