President’s Message

Fellow IAATI Members,

It is an honor to have been elected your IAATI President for 2023/2024. 

For those who do not know me, I am Nathan McGanty.  I am a Lieutenant with the Chesapeake (VA) Police Department and am the evening shift Command Duty Officer.  I am married to my wonderful wife of 16 years, Jessica, and we have two daughters and one son.  I am also a Past President of SEIAATI and 1st Vice President of IAMI.

I have been a part of IAATI since 2011, when I attended my first international training conference in Atlantic City when Chris McDonold was President.  Since this time, I have attended either, sometimes both, an International or SEIAATI conference.

Over the years, I have gained vast knowledge and new skills from IAATI.  I became an IAATI Vehicle Crimes Specialist and made countless contacts and lifelong friends. 

My hope for all of you is to do the same.  Do not make this a once-a-year thing.  Become engaged, broaden your reach and resources, and leave your comfort zone.  The end rewards are well worth it.

Over the next year, I hope to move IAATI forward on multiple fronts while maintaining the high level of training we already offer.  We will be introducing an IAATI APP with a new website.  It will allow members to stay engaged and find resources at their fingertips throughout the year.  I want to introduce a Vehicle Crimes Rebranding while maintaining the IAATI name and logo and start a membership drive with benefits for our current members.

I am always available to you and can be reached via email at nmcganty@iaati.org.

Again, thanks for allowing me to serve you and this great organization for the next year.

Sincerely,

Nathan McGanty
President 2023-2024
