From the
Association
As you are digging
out from the snow and ice and dodging the downed power
lines, take heart that Spring will eventually be here. And
Spring means that the annual Spring Conference is also
coming. It will be held again this year in Banner Elk on
March 24 and 25. See the Conference submenu on the website
for details. The Board has put together a good program with
a balance of instruction and case presentations.
There is a new case for your review in the Legal
Issue/Updates section: State of North Carolina v. Eugene
Johnny Williams. It concerns the admissibility of a Police
Officer’s opinion. It is a pretty interesting case.
After purging the membership roster we really need new
members, or old members to rejoin, or both. Although the
economy is starting to improve we realize that money is
still tight, but we also think that you will not find a
better bargain than the Association.
Click here to view
some of the speakers we have had at past meetings.
You will be hard pressed to find another organization which
can provide speakers and topics like this for what we charge
for membership and conferences.
