Letter from the Chair My name is Bob Powers. I am the 2004-2005 Chairman for the IAI Forensic Art Sub-committee. I was appointed as the Program Chairman at the 2002 IAI International Conference held August 4-10, 2002 in Las Vegas, Nevada.I know that those of you who attended will agree the 2001 Conference in Miami was a great success and presented an interesting program geared to the Forensic Art discipline. Delegates enjoyed a great workshop session with Gloria Nusse on sculpting a child's face; teaching seminars by renowned educators Dr. Ron Fisher on the Cognitive Interview and Dr. Bob George on the Geometry of the Face. Also given were informative presentations by Glenn Miller, Peter Bennett and Teresa Redmon on the benefits of computer usage for Facial Identification and Lois Gibson on the Proportions of the Face.
The purpose for this
e-mail message is to contact as many IAI Forensic Artists as possible and to give the
opportunity for ideas to be submitted as to the types of workshops, seminars or other
program items YOU would like to be incorporated within next years program. You may have a
presentation of your own that you feel would be of interest and which could be reviewed.
I am certain that each of us has wished for an opportunity to further our education, hear a particular speaker, attend a workshop or become exposed to new ideas. I can tell you from experience that those opportunities do not come often. This years IAI Conference in Dallas could be that opportunity, to try and meet everyone's needs.
