Alfred A. Biasotti
Most Outstanding Presentation Award

On January 10, 1986 the Board of Directors approved an award for the most outstanding presentation given by a member at the semi-annual seminars. The intention of this award is to increase the exchange of information in Forensic Science, encourage CAC members to present papers, promote creative and quality presentations, and recognize outstanding presentations at CAC Seminars. In 1998 the Board of Directors honored Al Biasotti by changing the name of the award to the Alfred A. Biasotti Most Outstanding Presentation Award. The award consists of a $200 stipend from CAC funds and a certificate presented at the Awards Banquet of a subsequent Seminar.
