Gene Ferraro

Eugene Ferraro.

NCISS President 

According to the website, Dictionary.com, the origin of the word association is Middle French/Medieval Latin, and was thought to be first used sometime in the early 16th century. To wit:

NCISS BOARD VOTES TO SUPPORT PPIAC & COLORADO LICENSING  EFFORT

 

 

In a precedent setting vote, the NCISS Board of Directors voted to send $500 to support the licensing effort in Colorado. In addition to the amount voted on by the board, individual board members contributed an additional $2500 from their own pockets for a total of $3000 to assist PPIAC in the related expenses.

Some board members expressed that to support a state in their bid for licensure is a high calling. States without regulation result in laws that impact private investigators across the country. Colorado's past efforts have failed.
