GARNER, N.C. - ncarol.com -- 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.
