Friends and fellow members of WAHI
This my first message as President of WAHI. A position I am
truly honored to hold. I will try and keep my comments brief.
The reviews are in. The 2008 Conference was another over
whelming success. As everyone knows, plans are well under way for the 2009
Conference to be held in Lake Geneva,
WI. The dates for this Conference
are April 22-24. Start making your training plans now to attend. Rick Luell, my
compliments on yet another excellent job done by the Training Committee.
I want to thank Steve Daniels for his leadership this past
year. WAHI continues to be a growing organization with a history of strong
leadership. It is my goal to keep WAHI moving forward with the guidance, wisdom
and experience and dedication provided by the Board of Directors.
Welcome and congratulations to the newly elected officers,
Dana Nigbor-Second Vice President, Mariellen Kostopulos-Secretary, Charles
Flad-Historian and Ed Anderson-Treasurer. This same greeting is extended to
newly elected members to the Board of Directors, Wayne Smith, Charlie Jones,
Scott Buerger, Al Kraeger and William Warmington.
I want to thank Tracy Finch and Jeff Wolf for their years of
service to WAHI. Your passion and dedication will be missed. Keep in touch.
I wish to extend an invitation to any and all Investigators
to submit articles of interest on cases you have worked on. These articles can
be submitted to Ed Anderson for publication on the WAHI web site, andersone@ci.superior.wi.us.
Website address is: http://www.wi-homicide.org.
The best way we can all learn is through the experiences
others.
Finally I would like to congratulate the DCI Death
Investigation School Graduates, Class of 2008. We are looking forward to your
participation in WAHI.
Looking forward to 2009
Joseph A. Krieg/President
Wisconsin Association of
Homicide Investigators.
