MAFS 39th Annual Meeting "Scientific Sizzle"
Location: Kansas City, Missouri
October 4-8, 2010
The Johnson County (KS) Sheriff’s Office Crime Lab and the Kansas Bureau of Investigation are co-sponsoring the 2010 annual fall meeting of the Midwestern Association of Forensic Scientists (MAFS). As the Program Chair for this meeting, I would like to personally invite you and all other members of the Iowa Division of the IAI to our meeting.
Traditionally, the MAFS meeting has not included training opportunities for crime scene and latent finger print examiners. However, this year we are pleased to announce a number of different workshops and symposia for scientists in these two disciplines. These include a three day crime scene investigation symposium, a workshop on fingerprints and Daubert, a workshop on distortion analysis, and a joint symposium between biologists and latent print examiners.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me at your convenience. I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon and hopefully seeing you and others at the upcoming MAFS meeting.
Respectfully,
