Michigan Association of Traffic Accident Investigators
2012
Membership: For $40 what's in it for me?
Let’s start with the practical:
-As
a member of MATAI you receive a 28% reduced price for both the Spring and Fall Conferences respectively. That’s a potential savings of $70.
-MATAI
is proud to offer every member 6 electronic issues of the “Accident Reconstruction Journal” included in the cost of your membership. “ARJ” has been a leading International technical
accident reconstruction publication for years and is a great
resource for accident investigators
and reconstructionists. This publication in its printed version would cost you $80.00 for a one year subscription.
-“Reference Points”
is a newsletter published by MATAI that is sent to its membership containing technical articles, book reviews, and follow-up pieces to our live crash test conferences.
What about the MATAI
Conferences?
-Traditionally MATAI has held their Spring Conferences out in the field and the Fall Conferences in the classroom.
Since
2009, MATAI has conducted live, real-world, dynamic crash testing. It is an opportunity for attendees to witness live vehicle crashes from a very close distance. They can personally work the crashes at the
scene and confirm that the principles
they have been taught really work. This first-hand experience is unequaled.
At our follow-up conference we evaluate the data collected from the live crash tests. We discover what works, what doesn’t, and
why. For
