ASCLD Announces 2025 Member of the Year: Meredith Rosenberg

GARNER, N.C. - May 23, 2025 - PRLog -- The American Society of Crime Laboratory Directors (ASCLD) is pleased to announce Meredith Rosenberg as the recipient of the 2025 ASCLD Member of the Year award. This prestigious recognition is in honor of her unwavering dedication and exceptional service to ASCLD as a mentor for the ASCLD Accreditation Initiative.

Meredith has been a dedicated mentor for the ASCLD Accreditation Initiative for the past two years, making significant contributions to the forensic science community. During this time, Meredith has mentored two distinct laboratories: the Hudson County Sheriff's Office in New Jersey and the LAPD Technical Investigation Services in California.

At the Hudson County Sheriff's Office, Meredith played a crucial role in establishing a DNA testing lab from the ground up. She guided them through the development of a quality management system that met both the FBI QAS and ISO/IEC 17025 standards. Her mentorship was instrumental in their successful assessment, which took place about a year after joining the AAI program.

Meanwhile, at LAPD Technical Investigation Services, Meredith provided invaluable support despite not having personal experience in the disciplines they sought accreditation in. She assisted them in developing their quality system and supported them through their assessment, leading to their accreditation 17 months after starting the program.

Meredith's genuine commitment to helping laboratories achieve their fullest potential is evident in her work. She celebrated their successes with humility and pride, always championing the values of accreditation, leadership, and excellence that are important to ASCLD.

Meredith's positive representation of ASCLD and her dedication to these initiatives have made a lasting impact on the forensic science community.

Meredith Rosenberg serves as the Deputy Director at the New York City Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, New York, New York.
