Hi-


Could someone let me know who is the coordinator/host committee chair/in charge of this AFTE Eastern Regional Meeting?


Also, whoever you are, are you in Denver at AFTE currently? If so, I'd like to talk to you..


If you're in Denver, you can text me 702-217-1461.


If not, then shoot me an email or I'll shoot you one once I know who you are. Lol!


Thanks!

Anya-

Thanks for reaching out and here is some information should you move forward with hosting a regional meeting. We follow AFTE policy letter #12 that outlines:

1. At the present time, AFTE members throughout the world meet regularly in regional groups to share information.  AFTE recognizes the need for members to meet together regionally and encourages such meetings; however the sponsorship or control of these meetings are not by AFTE.

1.1 Use of the AFTE logo for these regional meetings creates legal entanglements that could affect insurance and liability for AFTE.

Additionally, we keep with the Objectives and Purposes outlined in the AFTE Bylaws by organizing the two-day Eastern Regional and not charging any admission/registration fees. Perhaps one way of understanding the amount of efforts and collaboration of multiple organizers is to experience the event firsthand. We look forward to answering any additional questions that you have, afte@ic.fbi.gov will be the best contact. Best of luck in making the Western Regional a reality or arranging a collaboration similar to the Southern California Firearms Examiners Study Group.
