Second Chance Body Armor Fraud – a Whistleblower’s Experience with Aaron Westrick, PhD (4.0 CPE)
Dr. Westrick was the research director for America’s largest body armor company – Second Chance Body Armor – and was the first official to oppose the sale of bulletproof vests made with Zylon fiber. Based on his whistleblower disclosures, these defective vests were forced off the market, and law enforcement officer's lives were saved. He filed a qui tam action against the manufacturers of the vests and Zylon fiber. It was hotly contested and took 14 years to conclude with all defendants paying to settle allegations. Dr. Westrick has been a featured speaker at national events and received numerous honors.

Corporate Psychopaths with Greg Wright, CFE, CFP (1.0 CPE)

May 14, 2020 Luncheon
Speaker: Susan Walsh, PhD
Presentation: Forensic DNA Phenotyping: The Quest for a Biological Portrait
Location: Maggiano's (Keystone at the Crossing)
DNA phenotyping is designed to generate a DNA-based portrait of a person and use it to solve a forensic and/or anthropological void. Such issues could be the crime scene bio-evidence that does not match to known DNA profiles, to assess and corroborate with an eye-witness account, to aid in a police search of an individual with little personal data or image, or to lend a face to an unidentified deceased or even a previously unmet ancestor.
Susan Welsh developed and forensically validated the IrisPlex and HIrisPlex system for eye and hair color prediction from DNA. Her specialties include: forensic DNA profiling from populations, including statistical prediction modeling of associated traits. Currently she is conducting research on human physical appearance prediction for forensic and anthropological usage.
The luncheon cost is $10 for chapter members and the amount is refunded at the luncheon. If you register and do ot attend, we keep the $10.
