Two New Conference Features

Number One:

An information desk which will be staffed with law enforcement officials from the IRS, Criminal Investigations; the FBI, and Northern Virginia’s HIDTA. At this desk, you may discuss any cases you’re involved with and/or find out who to contact for assistance with any cases. This is a rare opportunity to speak to law enforcement, face-to-face, one-on-one. Don’t miss it!

Number Two:

We also want to hear from you! We would like to interview members to understand what you enjoy about and what benefits you gain from the BSA Coalition. We also want you to tell us what we can do better. If you give us permission, we will record your responses so that we can publish them on LinkedIN and possibly our website. Don’t miss the chance to give us your feedback. Please join us!!!
