Welcome to the FIRST edition of the ARC Network Newsletter. For all of you who are not familiar, the ARC Network stands for Accident Reconstruction Communications Network. We are a NEW web-based professional organization specifically for accident reconstruction and accident investigation. The ARC Network was developed for the simple reason that the industry of Accident Reconstruction needed a web site that served as a complete communications and research site. The goal of this organization is to provide experts in this field with a multitude of communication and research tools that aid in the efficiency and effectiveness of daily business requirements. It is also our goal to act as an "expert locator" for all professionals seeking to retain the services of accident reconstructionists. We understand that this site is a major undertaking and will continually be growing. We hope that you will see the benefit of having one Internet web site that you can visit to obtain the information you need for your daily business requirements.
