The NCISS 2018 Annual Meeting and Hit the Hill event was held in Washington DC from March 19th to March 21st.
Monday was the Board meeting, following by the Annual Meeting and elections.
Tuesday was the Hit the Hill with each member visiting the offices of their Senators and Representatives. Also on Tuesday was the special luncheon and presentation of the "Duffy Award" inside the US Capitol building, and an afternoon reception, also in the US Capitol building.
Wednesday brought some unexpected challenges. Inclement weather overnight resulted in cancelled and changed flights, and having to adapt the schedule for our members. The new Board meeting was held, followed by the presentation of the Vinson Award and the Wunder Award, swearing in of Officers and Directors, followed by special speakers - Terry Kilburn for Tracers Information Specialists, and Cynthia Hetherington for The Hetherington Group. Tim Dimoff, for SACS Consulting and Investigative Services, was scheduled to speak and instead yielded his time so Cynthia could give her full presentation (one consequence of the weather and schedule change). Tim has agreed to come back next year.

Wayne J. Wunder Memorial Award - Andrea Orozco (www.NCISS.org/wayne-j--wunder-memorial-award)
The award recognizes exceptional contributions to NCISS by members who characteristically are not in the forefront in terms of recognition. This year the committee of the “Wunder” past recipients selected 2nd Vice President, Andrea Orozco. Her steadfast leadership and accomplishments on behalf of the Council and the profession epitomize what the Wunder family originally had in mind for recipients of the Award.
Here are some comments from NCISS leaders who have worked with Her: “When she says she will get it done – it gets done.” “She goes outside the box for solutions – and this is reflected in her tenure as a Board member.” “She is always thinking of others first.”“She quietly goes about her work and never cares about taking credit.” and “The Council owes her a lot over the past several years and she will play an integral part in securing its future.”
