Our Mission We believe that leadership is a lifelong journey, not a means to an end. Our mission is to help forensic professionals lead well for life, whether that's at the bench or in the lab director's chair. By enhancing the leadership skills of professionals who have a direct impact on the criminal justice system, we are committed to improving and developing the effectiveness of the public justice process. Our Vision We envision a system of forensic laboratories that fosters collaboration and the free flow of scientific information and debate that will ultimately provide high-quality forensic services to the public that are valid, reliable, accurate, and appropriately communicated to the criminal justice community. One step towards this vision is to continually improve the state of leadership in the forensics industry by providing aspiring leaders with the confidence and skills to make that next step in their careers and to perform well in those roles. Our Values Remain Flexible - We strive to maintain a culture of flexibility with our course offerings and services. What might work for some might not work for others. Having the ability to pivot efficiently is an important leadership skill. Exemplify Leadership - Leadership is not simply "better people management" or knowing all the right answers all the time. To lead effectively requires investigation into yourself as a whole human being. We aim to help you gain these essential skills to become a better leader. Earn Trust - Trust is an essential foundational value that must exist between student and teacher, employee and leader. Without trust, the foundations for good communication, keen understanding, and impactful action crumble. Strive for Consistency - Work cultures, local environments, and leadership needs are constantly in flux. We strive to adapt to changes so that we may consistently provide quality training to our students of leadership.
