Membership
All prospective members must attend two Scientific Working Group on Digital Evidence meetings as a guest to be considered for membership. Membership applications are typically submitted before the prospective member’s second meeting. The prospective member’s ability to contribute to the Scientific Working Group on Digital Evidence is evaluated throughout the two meetings and membership is voted upon at the conclusion of the second meeting.
Membership application packages can be obtained after a guest has attended their first meeting by emailing the Membership Committee at membership@swgde.org. New applicants are required to complete the membership application form, Code of Ethics and Conflict Disclosure Statement and obtain a nomination letter by their agency/organization head (in addition to meeting attendance) to be eligible for membership. If you feel that you can contribute to the Scientific Working Group on Digital Evidence and are able to make the time commitment to maintain required meeting attendance, then you are welcome and encouraged to attend two meetings as a guest (see information below) and submit a membership application.
