Below is a list of responsibilities for the representative:

·         Attend annual in-person SWGDRUG meetings (the next SWGDRUG meeting is scheduled for the week of June 26 in Chicago, IL)

·         Provide a short update on their respective forensic organization during in-person SWGDRUG meetings

·         Active participation during drafting and revision of SWGDRUG products (this may include in-person as well as virtual tasks between meetings)

·         Provide SWGDRUG updates to their respective forensic organizations (electronically and preferably in-person during their annual meetings)

Should you have any questions about the responsibilities of being a member of the SWGDRUG core committee, please email Dr. Sandra Rodriguez-Cruz (SWGDRUG@dea.gov) or Mr. Chris Matchett (christian.c.matchett2.civ@army.mil).
