Message from the President
Hon. Derek P. Champagne, Franklin County District Attorney
Having celebrated its centennial in 2009, the District Attorneys Association is now entering its second century of service. I would like to thank my predecessor, Warren County District Attorney Kathleen Hogan for her year of dedicated service on behalf of the citizens of New York State. At the outset of her tenure she urged DAASNY to become a "positive, pro-active, and relentless force to improve the criminal justice system and promote public safety." I hope to continue to promote this goal by highlighting the good work of my colleagues through the DAASNY newsletter; supporting legislation that will better protect New Yorkers, such as DNA for all convictions; and, most importantly, by being a voice for justice. I look forward to a year of reducing crime and protecting the citizens of New York State.
