Chapter Officers and Board Members at ACFE's Global Level

Board Members at Salisbury University

Several members of the Chapter's Board are shown (front row, blue shirts) here with faculty and students of Salisbury University's Fraud and Forensic Accounting Program. Board Members attended the Shore Fraud Conference on the campus Nov. 22, 2019. The Chapter hosted an information table so others could learn about our activities and find out how to join us. Also, Chapter members joined a number of other conference participants from Maryland, Delaware, and Virginia who heard from James Ratley, president emeritus of ACFE, and other speakers.

Contributing for Academic Efforts

The Chapter presented a $5000 check for Salisbury University's Fraud and Forensic Accounting Program during the 2019 Shore Fraud Conference.

In 2017, ACFE Maryland Chapter President Stephen Lesniewski, Jr., and several board members provided Chapter funds for a fraud library at Salisbury University..
