Inspector General, Florida Department of Law Enforcement
The information provided prior to the institute was very much on point. It allowed me to feel at ease about what to expect on the first day and throughout the institute. The registration process was very easy to follow, and AIG staff was very attentive throughout the week

All contact and processes leading up to the event were EXCELLENT! AIG was very responsive and understanding, super kind and professional! The event was extremely beneficial for me, especially getting to see and understand what IG work looks like outside of my agency.

Inspector General, West Virginia Department of Homeland Security
Before attending this AIG course, I thought it might be just another conference. But I’m leaving it knowing I’m better equipped, more empowered, and truly prepared to fulfill my duties and responsibilities as an Inspector General.
