The National Association of Forensic Science Boards (NAFSB) is a grass-roots initiative to ensure that State-level forensic science boards are best positioned to benefit forensic science. The NAFSB provides a grassroots forum for these groups to communicate and share their different experiences and identify best practices that are most applicable to each state’s unique circumstances. For states that are considering changes to the structure of their board or developing a new board, the NAFSB can provide information about what has and has not previously worked in regard to structures, memberships, stakeholder engagement, and outcomes. The NAFSB is not a federal entity or a national governing body.
