Hello to my fellow NCRC members. I am honored to have been elected as the President of NCRC this year and look forward to serving you to the best of my ability.

We recently held one of our largest Conferences in recent years in East St. Louis, Illinois with over 180 attendees. Barb Rambo (NICB) and Sgt. Jeff Smith (Illinois State Police) and their crew put on a top notch conference with classes ranging from hidden compartments to identification of motorcycles, ATVs and agricultural equipment to getting information on the new VIN labels that will be used by Ford. And for those that wanted to attend, a trip to the assembly plant in St. Louis, MO to see the Dodge Grand Caravan being built.

Plans are being made for the 2009 Conference to be held in Bloomington, Minnesota. Details about that conference will announced as they become available.

We have recently made some changes, our magazine, The Recover, will now be posted on our website along with a members directory. To access this information, you must receive your username and password. In order to be sent your username and password, we must have your email address.

Congratulations to Barb Rambo for being selected as the Clyde W. Oliver Memorial Award recipient.  Congratulations also go out to Det. Sgt. Robert Wellman, The Western Wayne Auto Theft Unit and The Macomb Auto Theft Squad for their receiving the Robert Sattler Memorial Goal Accomplishment Award. To learn more about the awards and recipients go to the Clyde Oliver and Bob Sattler pages of this web site.

If you have any questions, comments or concerns, please feel free to contact me or any other Board member. Again, I look forward to serving you, the members of NCRC, this year.
