Courses On Deck IAIL President Tom Demont gives updates on investigative education opportunities. July was one of the best I’ve attended in some time, with attendance steady each show day and our classes well stocked with eager students. We did have an IAIL member meeting on July 20th at 5:30 pm with 41 members W WWW.ALOA.ORG in attendance. The current board present was Tom Demont, CFL – President; Tom Ware, CFL - VP, Ross Squire, CFL- BOD; Bill Petley, CFL – BOD; and Brian Van- Denburgh, CFL – BOD, our new board of director who is replacing Glenn Henning, CFL. There was an excused absence for Rick Shuford, CFL - BOD and Scott Paulhus - BOD. Discussions were held about the classes offered at this conference and requests were made that we try to have all of the core classes available at the convention or at the Aaron M. Fish Security Train- ing Center in Dallas. A request was made that we have a mini conference for foren- sic locksmiths in Dallas next year where the members could take all of the core classes and, if ready, take the CFL exam at the end of that training.
