WHIC-Con 24 President’s Message
Welcome to WHIA Con 2024.
Every year the conference committee strives to make a better show than the year before. The monthly meetings are a series of discussions and evaluations of the different presentations, trying to find those that not only have teachable moments but also provide a contemporary subject matter that makes it relevant to today’s needs. Without the volunteers on the committee, our annual program would be average at best.
Annual accomplishments don’t start and end with the conference. This year, Basic Homicide Investigation is already scheduled for September in Wenatchee, we’ve continued facilitating the monthly IIT forums, and WHIA published its first Best Practices Document. In addition to regular day jobs, everyone has been busy representing all of us.
WHIA is only as strong as the volunteers that chose to get involved. To that point, our future growth and desire to maintain relevancy all comes down to those who chose to get involved and carry the torch. As we enjoy this week of learning and friendship, relax, enjoy and have a good time. When you get a minute, take the time to say “thank you” to all of our amazing volunteers on the conference committee, BHI, Best Practices and executive boards.
Mike Don
WHIA President
